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

“Life often lulls us to sleep, makes us drowsy with the promise of unbroken tranquillity, only to stir us from our peaceful slumber with thunderous claps of doom that at first sound like the gentle drops of an afternoon shower, quickly growing in intensity until we can hear nothing else but the thud of dread.”
Lee Irby, Unreliable: A Novel

“Scotch tape is a miracle of progress.”

“If the human species evolved to be an honest one, then why is our frontal cortex so immense and capable of inventing entire landscapes that are utterly false?”
Lee Irby, Unreliable: A Novel
