Book cover for Kudos
Justice, in other words, was something you had to honour for its own sake, and whether or not he believed that Dante could look after himself, it seemed to me he ought to defend him at every opportunity.

Patricia Lockwood
“I’m aware I’m making the low continuous moaning noise of a fearful cow, but I can’t seem to stop. This is the worst story I’ve ever heard. This is worse than Ethan Frome.”
Patricia Lockwood, Priestdaddy: A Memoir

Samantha Irby
“When you break up with an asshole, it’s easy to just set fire to the shit and move on. But no one talks to you about ending a relationship that never sucked kinda amicably with your homie whom you still love to a degree and for whom you sort of want the best. No, you actually want him to be prosperous and happy. Not more prosperous or happy than you are, for sure, or all up in your face with it, but you aren’t actively wishing for homeboy to wind up homeless or hit by a city bus.”
Samantha Irby, We Are Never Meeting in Real Life.

Rachel Cusk
“It seems success takes you away from what you know, he said, while failure condemns you to it.”
Rachel Cusk, Outline

Eve Babitz
“Every article about her sooner or later gets around to the subject of her lovers, who were reportedly legion. (Earl McGrath, former president of Rolling Stone Records: “In every young man’s life there is an Eve Babitz. It’s usually Eve Babitz.”)”
Eve Babitz, Eve's Hollywood

Patricia Lockwood
“He entertained himself by slipping increasingly outrageous puns into the copy, which culminated in a headline about a dachshund race that read, “All Wieners in the Long Run.”
Patricia Lockwood, Priestdaddy: A Memoir
