“Buck up. Fake it till you feel it. The show must go on. This was the way they did things - These people in the world she'd grown up in.”
Kate Greathead, Laura & Emma

“I honestly don't know what's happened to you," Ellen continued. "When you were little you had all these interests. It was such a thrill, as your mother, to watch you doing your things, and imagine the person you'd grow up to be. And I'm not talking about some hotshot success at the top of his field - just a person who was engaged in the world, who had a thing he was passionate about doing. I want that for you, George, I want you to wake up in the morning and be excited to get out of bed and do whatever it is that you're passionate about. Or at least get out of bed and do it, even on the days you're not excited about it. I think you'd find there's a certain dignity in that, just getting up and doing what's expected of you, all the more so when it's not what you want to be doing, or what you expected out of life.”
Kate Greathead, The Book of George

“That wasn’t ‘a little gas,’ George. That wasn’t an oops, I farted fart. That was a protracted, theatrically loud, shotgun, illegal-fireworksfrom-Chinatown kind of fart. It was the kind of fart you do when you’re all alone. To make sure you’re still alive. To reassure yourself that you actually exist.” George was impressed by her riff on the fart.”
Kate Greathead, The Book of George
