Quotes by Sweta Patel  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I didn’t want to live that way, and yet I would have done anything, endured anything, for that high. You have to be ambitious as shit to do all that. People struggling with alcoholism, drug addiction, and homelessness are strong people. Actions speak louder than words. That action might be to get more liquor—it’s sad what we’re working so hard for—but no one can deny our drive.”
Sweta Patel, Should've Been Dead: Lessons from a Crack Addict Who Broke Free

“Ego stands for Edging God Out.” It becomes about me—look at me and look at what I did. No, I’ve got to stay with my two feet on the ground.”
