When you say too much about anything important, it always ends up sounding more trivial than it is. Words trash it.
Quite an ironic observation by a character who spills hundreds of thousands of words over five books. It’s so much easier for Jessica to go on and on about meaningless stuff, so she spends most of her time obsessing about meaningless stuff. Without much practice, she’s ill-equipped to express herself with snark-free sincerity. Marcus’s “conversational constructs” successfully disarm Jessica because they are so silly. Together, Jessica and Marcus find depth through triviality.
