“If you have anything to say, anything you feel nobody has ever said before, you have got to feel it so desperately that you will find some way to say it that nobody has ever found before, so that the thing you have to say and the way of saying it blend as one matter--as indissolubly as if they were conceived together.”
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Short Stories

“There are certain things that remind me of my destiny to raw dog American capitalism, get the same UTI over and over, and keep going back out of shame and lack of prospects. I skew pretty left, but I will wait in line at Space Mountain for an hour and foam at the mouth over the intellectual property of one of the world's vilest conglomerates. Their labor and integration practices are sick, their refusal to produce anything new is obnoxious, and when I see a princess at a theme park who has the same hair color as me, I pass out.”
― Jamie Loftus, Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs

“When Cass was younger, her grandmother used to tell her that the way she dressed was her calling card to the world. And she could use it to telegraph whatever information she wanted to share. Did she want to look mature? Carefree? Serious? Flirty? Like she was trying to impress someone? Or like she wasn't? You can play psychological games with what you wear, giving people a particular impression before you even open your mouth.”
― Jill Santopolo, Stars in an Italian Sky

“I suppose sometimes in fiction we find the thing we need to raise our spirits, help us escape, and even teach us how to be brave.”
