Ali Wong
“There are a lot of advantages to being with someone of your own race. The cultural shorthand makes it a lot easier. You don’t have to constantly explain everything or act like a smiling tour guide for Asian American culture or deal with dietary differences.”
Ali Wong, Dear Girls: Intimate Tales, Untold Secrets, and Advice for Living Your Best Life

Rob Delaney
“I was basically trucking along as a functional drunk who knew he had a problem but hoped nothing truly terrible would happen.”
Rob Delaney, Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage.

“As the room filled up, the dogs, intent on being part of the pack, would join as well, and excited by the party they were then attending, would wrestle with each other, or whomever they could find. So before long, I would be smothered in three kids and a couple of loud dogs, all in a room where I went, remember, to get away from the noise and chaos. This vexed me. Julie asked about the idea of setting boundaries, of simply saying, no, this door is closed. I'll see you all later. And, of course, that's the right thing to do. And of course, I knew that. What's stopping me, I explained, is that if I do that, then I'm putting myself ahead of my family. And that's wrong. Why does that feel wrong, she asked. Because then I'm a bad dad, I said.

I knew it was a distortion, but damn, it felt true. If I'm present for my kids, always looking them in the eyes, able and willing to engage in conversation any time of the day or night, then I'm not a bad dad. If not, then I'm a bad dad. It's of note that there is no clear path here to being a good dad, only a forestalling of bad-dadness.”
John Moe, The Hilarious World of Depression

“Too dumb to succeed, too honest to cheat.”
Sincere Engineer

Ursula K. Le Guin
“When the enemy enthusiastically embraces you, and the fellow countrymen bitterly reject you, it is hard not to wonder if you are, in fact, a traitor.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia
