"Choose a life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers... Choose DSY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit crushing game shows, stucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away in the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself, choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that?"

É por estas e por outras que Trainspotting é o melhor livro e a melhor adaptação cinematográfica de uma obra alguma vez feita.
Grande Irvine Welsh! Trouxe para a literatura toda a cultura punk. Ou como ela deveria ser, não aquela pseudo punk que se passeia nas nossas ruas.
