“There is no art form more intrinsically and blatantly American—in its casual violence, its bombastic braggadocio, its virulent jingoism, its populist defiance of respectability, and its intermittently awe-inspiring beauty—than professional wrestling. This lucrative enterprise is not a legitimate competition, but it is indisputably an expression of creativity. Its practitioners have a time-worn saying: “This ain’t ballet.” But it’s not that far from ballet: a kinetic method of storytelling, one that requires tremendous skill (and physical pain) to perform.”

“Ranette said a lot of mean things, but they weren't ... well, they weren't actually mean. He joked, and she joked. And sure, sometimes there was an edge of truth to it, but that's what friends was about. Making you look a little silly when you were together, so that you didn't look really stupid when you were apart.”

“You don’t have to have a reason to be tired. You don’t have to earn rest or comfort. You’re allowed to just be.”

“Barack Obama contradicts the image they have in their head for what a President looks like and sounds like, and it unsettles them on a subconscious level.
And then somebody presents an answer to why they feel uncomfortable. He's not from here. He wasn't born in this country, he was born in Kenya.
It doesn't matter that you or I can disprove that theory six ways to Sunday.
There's a part of their brains that feels relieved, because that lie gives them a sense of order.
They aren't bad people for feeling unsettled by a black President. They aren't racist. They're just smart enough to see through the ruse.
And that's when things get very dangerous for us.”
― The Department of Truth, Vol 1: The End of the World
