Quotes by Christine Grillo (?)

“The most intimate relationship of my life would be my relationship with me--which was wildly unappealing. This is why people believe in gods, so we can have intimate relationships with them instead of ourselves.”

“Sooner or later you realize that dating is performative. You have to perform how interesting you are. Perform how kind you are. Perform what an emotional grown-up you are. And then--it gets worse. Because when your performances get his attention, well, then you've got his attention, and do you actually want all that attention? It's exhausting.”

“Hey," I said. "I invented a joke after he left. Do you want to hear it?"
He said he did.
"How do you know when a white man is woke?"
"How?" he asked,
"Oh don't worry," I said. "He'll tell you.”
