“...we're told by TV and Reader's Digest that a crisis will trigger massive personal change--and that those big changes will make the pain worthwhile.

“Sometimes we all forget that the world itself is paradise, and there has been much of late to enourage that amnesia. (Microserfs, p 366)”

“And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when your turn is going to be, or if it's already happened.”

“TV and the Internet are good because they keep stupid people from spending too much time out in public.”

“To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact.”

“You cannot believe everything you hear”

“But please remember: this is only a work of fiction. The truth, as always, will be far stranger.”

“Strip back the beliefs pasted on by governesses, schools, and states, you find indelible truths at one's core.”

“A story can always break into pieces while it sits inside a book on a shelf; and, decades after we have read it even twenty times, it can open us up, by cut or caress, to a new truth.”

“Some bitter boys reading this might accuse me of “friend-zoning,” but I’d like to say that even if a girl has misinterpreted a situation that someone else thinks was obvious, she does not owe her male friends anything.”
