“But you're sure we're not being slothful?"
I told her avarice, envy, pride, lust, and wrath harm others, and gluttony is bad for your health. But sloth is just a willingness to move slower than others and that's not a crime. I've always thought despair should be the seventh deadly sin instead.”
― Jessica Francis Kane, Rules for Visiting

“When little, friends play house in order to pretend to be family, which is ironic because the beautify of friends is that they are chosen, not given. Should siblings, play friends? And so we 'make' friends or 'find' them? Emily Dickinson thought that the best verb was 'enact'.”

I looked out the window. Every stripped tire looked like roadkill.
After a minute, Neera said, "Actually, that really is something."
"I thought so," I said.”
― Jessica Francis Kane, Rules for Visiting
