Quotes by Lara Deloza (?)

“Critter: I was fairly relieved when Sea took off on her own. She was wearing some two-sizes-too-small T-shirt, practically forcing my eyes to home in on “the girls,” and all I could think was I’m going to turn into a pillar of salt.”
― Lara M. Zeises, Anyone but You

“Depressions are a lot like snowflakes – no two are exactly alike. Some people get drunk and puke up the badness into a public toilet. Some find a willing stranger and fuck their brain out in the backseat of a rusty Camaro. The Hole requires a lot less energy. In the Hole, time doesn`t exist.”
― Lara M. Zeises, Bringing Up the Bones

“You know how when you are listening to a really powerful piece of music like that you can feel it, in your chest and stuff? And it`s like some invisible hand just reaches into you and squeezes something, not your heart or anything clichéd like that, but something, and if it pushes it one way, you will burst into tears and if it pushes it another, you will crack the widest smile and if it pushes it another, you will just curl up into a little ball and fall asleep. Pause. I am beginning to think that`s what love must feel like.”
