Costalegre Quotes

There are already four pineapples and a dining chair floating in the pool.”
― Courtney Maum, Costalegre

“It always made me nervous, looking for something that someone already sees. It's like you have to find it quickly, lest they think you foolish, and there is that odd sensation while they are waiting for your eyes to capture what theirs have already seized.”
― Courtney Maum, Costalegre
