quotes by Sloane Crosley
"Uniqueness is wasted on youth. Like fine wine or a solid flossing habit, you'll be grateful for it when you're older."
— Sloane Crosley (I Was Told There'd Be Cake)

"Ladies. Large masses of girls are often prone to this salutation. I hate being mollified with this unsolicited "ladies" business. I know we're all women. I am conscious of my breasts. Do I have to be conscious of yours as well? Do men do this? Do they go, "Men: Meet for ribs in the shed after the game. Keg beer, raw eggs, and death metal only." I would imagine not."
— Sloane Crosley (I Was Told There'd Be Cake)

"I find that anything culturally significant that happened before '93 I associate with the decade before it. In fact, Oregon Trail is one of a handful of signposts that middle school existed at all."
