Quotes by Jack Livings (?)

“And as it grew, the party move backward in time…the guests collectively regressing to the age of their greatest beauty, the pinnacle of their intellectual and sexual potency.”

“Even Jefferson, declaring those truths he claimed to be self-evident, was speaking to a point of personal contention, giving voice to an argument within himself, an argument with his God.”
― Jack Livings, The Blizzard Party

“Bo believed that there came a time for every party, at which its alleged purpose fell away like a trap door, to reveal its actual purpose, which was to facilitate sex. Whether you just wanted someone to tell you you’re pretty, or whether you wanted to fuck the living daylights out of someone half your age against the sink in the laundry room, a party’s soul was made of those who stuck around for the pheromones. Sometimes everyone left when the trap door fell open. Sometimes everyone dove right in.”
― Jack Livings, The Blizzard Party
