Quotes by Denise Hamilton (?)

“I sauntered to the kitchen, where the lone pot of afternoon coffee had been reduced to thick black syrup. Glad that no one was around to watch, I filled a Styrofoam cup halfway with the molten matter, swished it, and sniffed. Nose of burning rubber, with light tar accents. I topped it off with Sparklett's, then nuked it. Kills the germs.”
― Denise Hamilton, The Jasmine Trade

“That’s the great thing about L.A. No matter who you are, you fit in, because no one fits in, so everyone is in the same boat. And it gets more that way each day. Now it’s whites who are odd man out.”
― Denise Hamilton, The Jasmine Trade
