“Throughout your teens and twenties, it's pretty easy to live in a suspended reality - one where you never get old or need to spend much time thinking about 401Ks, mammograms, or renewing your license. You don't need me to tell you: that ends.”

“You learn a lot about people when you're sitting on their bathroom floor or on their toilet seat, rifling through their stuff.”

“I am, in fact, a candle salesperson's worst nightmare - or dream come true, depending on the salesperson.”

“A true initiation never ends.”

“A lot of writing's going down dead ends that don't go anywhere.”

“Time and again, when member states and the governments are faced with an insoluble problem, and they're under pressure to do something, that something usually ends up being referred to the U.N.”
