The Master & Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
"I do not have a personal review. Instead I'm passing on this very lucid thought/meditation that I came across some six months ago from tumblrperson Clint Irwin. I appreciated reading it first as a meditation on just Passion narratives in general, and" Read more of this review »

Shocked by how much I enjoyed this. So easy breezy a read too. Helped that I grew up in the same place and on the same bands as Dando. Says he wrote it with Jeff Ruland, so well done Jeff too. Wonder if Dando spoke it and Ruland cleaned it up? In any ...more

Quotes by Rob Delaney  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Whenever someone tells me they’re expecting their first baby and they’re nervous, I tell them the following: “Oh my goodness, that’s wonderful. I am so happy for you. Listen, of course you’re nervous but here’s the deal: you’re ready for all the bad stuff. You’ve been very tired before. You’ve been in pain before. You’ve been worried about money before. You’ve felt like an incapable moron before. So you’ll be fine with the difficult parts! You’re already a pro. What you’re NOT ready for is the wonderful parts. NOTHING can prepare you for how amazing this will be. There is no practice for that.”
Rob Delaney, A Heart That Works

“Children give terrible gifts because they are poor.”
Rob Delaney, Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage.

“My favorite historical response to someone hearing about a “big” death comes from the character Henry Clerval in Mary Shelley’s masterwork, Frankenstein. When Henry learns that his best friend Victor Frankenstein’s young brother William has been murdered, he says, “I can offer you no consolation, my friend. Your disaster is irreparable. What do you intend to do?” Perfect. There is no consolation. The disaster is irreparable. I’ve read Frankenstein twice since our Henry died. It is my companion in grief. It should surprise no one who reads it that Mary Shelley was a bereaved mother.”
Rob Delaney, A Heart That Works

“Children give terrible gifts because they are poor.”
Rob Delaney, Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage.

“If you ask someone out and they say no, try it again in a few minutes wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigarette.”
Rob Delaney, Mother. Wife. Sister. Human. Warrior. Falcon. Yardstick. Turban. Cabbage.

“I became a diligent condom carrier and when most subsequent lovers had the good fortune to lie under my grunting, sweaty mass, they were always the grimacing recipient of an eager and rubber-sheathed penis boner.”
