Quotes by Jackson Bliss (?)

“Since the day he'd arrived at JFK, Aziz realized he would always be unlovable in New York for the simple reason that love served no purpose in this city. Love highjacked your professional ambition, threatened your family, and subverted your life goals. New Yorkers were too impatient, too practical, and too overworked to fall in love. They were too pushy to be that vulnerable. And love, for all its hype, mythos, and capitalist performance, was meant to be inconvenient. It forced you to make impractical decisions about your life.”
― Jackson Bliss, Amnesia of June Bugs
