    Ally Condie
    “Blue is the most common eye color in Oria Province, but there is something different about his eyes and I'm not sure what it is. More depth? I wonder what he sees when he looks at me. If he seems to have depth to me, do I seem shallow and transparent to him?”
    Ally Condie, Matched

    Jess C. Scott
    “He knows how to market himself well. Nowadays, that's all that seems to count. He's rebellious in a way that appeals to people with vain, shallow taste. So of course he manipulates his audiences with the blessing of his recording company and the financial investors behind his brand.”
    Jess C. Scott, Sven

    Jess C. Scott
    “I learned that it's okay to feel the way I do: that my life has no meaning unless I have a boyfriend. A real man is like the perfect vampire-boy and all the perfect guys in Twue Wuv.”
    Jess C. Scott, Literary Heroin (Gluttony): A Twilight Parody

    “There just isn’t enough cock in this world to be caught suckin’ and be called anything but a slut for life. The cynic in me would call it a bad habit, but that’d make me a whore in denial and if there’s one thing I am, it’s an honest bitch. Then again, you don’t get famous for being daddy’s little angel, but you can easily fall into the Infamy Bracket by preaching a made-up Bible quote now and again. They say I’m shallow, but I’ve made a living out off diving off the deep end.”
    Dave Matthes, Sleepeth Not, the Bastard

    F. Scott Fitzgerald
    “In 1913, when Anthony Patch was twenty-five, two years were already gone since irony, the Holy Ghost of this later day, had, theoretically at least, descended upon him. Irony was the final polish of the shoe, the ultimate dab of the clothes-brush, a sort of intellectual «There!» yet at the brink of this story he has as yet gone no further than the conscious stage. As you first see him he wonders frequently whether he is not without honor and slightly mad, a shameful and obscene thinness glistening on the surface of the world like oil on a clean pond, these occasions being varied, of course, with those in which he thinks himself rather an exceptional young man, thoroughly sophisticated, well adjusted to his environment, and somewhat more significant than any one else he knows.”
    F Scott Fitzgerald

    Mark Vonnegut
    “Fear that I was very different from everyone else. Fear that deep down inside I was a shallow fraud, that after the revolution or after Jesus came down to straighten everything out, everyone from hippies to hard-hats would unfold and blossom into the beautiful people they were while I would remain a gnarled little wart in the corner, oozing bile and giving off putrid smells.”
    Mark Vonnegut, The Eden Express: A Memoir of Insanity

    Charles M. Schulz
    “Cartooning is preaching. And I think we have a right to do some preaching. I hate shallow humor. I hate shallow religious humor, I hate shallow sports humor, I hate shallowness of any kind.”
    Charles M. Schulz, Charles M. Schulz: Conversations

    Mary Balogh
    “Everyone was a rose but even more complex than a mere flower. Everyone was made up of infinitely layered petals. And everyone had something indescribably precious at the heart of their being.
    No one was shallow. Not really.”
    Mary Balogh, A Secret Affair

    Oscar Wilde
    “With subtle and finely-wrought temperaments it is always so. Their strong passions must either bruise or bend. They either slay the man, or themselves die. Shallow sorrows and shallow loves live on. The loves and the sorrows that are great are destroyed by their own plenitude. ”
    Oscar Wilde

    “Maybe a person's world can grow bigger in all the right ways, not too wide that it becomes shallow, just large enough to preserve its depth.”
    Deb Caletti, The Fortunes of Indigo Skye

    Oscar Wilde
    “My dear boy, the people who only love once in their lives are really the shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. Faithfulness is to the emotional life what consistency is to the life of the intellect—simply a confession of failures.”
    Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

    Franny Billingsley
    “Yes, I'm shallow, I don't mind admitting it. Perhaps I should admit that there's no end to the depths of my shallowness.”
    Franny Billingsley, Chime

    Neal Shusterman
    “Fine," Connor tells him. "Think about stuff until your head explodes. But the only thing I want to think about is surviving to eighteen."

    I find your shallowness both refreshing and disappointing at the same time. Do you think that means I need therapy?”
    Neal Shusterman, Unwind

    Kurt Cobain
    “I was tired of pretending that I was someone else just to get along with people, just for the sake of having friendships.”
    Kurt Cobain

    Oscar Wilde
    “It is only shallow people who do not judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible....”
