Quotes by Kristen Arnett (?)

“We spent so much time looking for pieces of ourselves in other people that we never realized they were busy searching for the same things in us.”
― Kristen Arnett, Mostly Dead Things

“Need, my father had written. To need meant to be vulnerable. It was one of the scariest things I could imagine. Needing anything meant you were open to invasion. It meant you had no control of yourself.”
― Kristen Arnett, Mostly Dead Things

“You don't know what love is, I thought, wanting to smack him. Love was the steady burn of acid indigestion. Love was a punch in the gut that ruptured your spleen. Love was a broken telephone that refused to dial out.”
― Kristen Arnett, Mostly Dead Things
