“It’s funny when people think we’re materialistic. Sure, as quickly as things come into our possession, they can be taken away. Was life really that different with or without those things? It wasn’t that Gala was sad about the things in particular; she mourned how happy they made her when she wore them. Because when she wore them, they were decidedly an extension of her. But when someone takes that from you, it cements how illusory that feeling is. When you come around to realizing it, you can never be totally held by objects. It’s the same for money. Money is always coming and going. It’s hard to be attached to it.”
― Marlowe Granados, Happy Hour

“Perhaps it is not a coincidence that I write things into remembrance. I like to linger long enough to name pleasurable things and seek out more.”
― Marlowe Granados, Happy Hour

“Some men really do feel like they’re owed something whenever they’re generous. Well, unfortunately that’s not how generosity works.”
― Marlowe Granados, Happy Hour

“To write is a task that feels like it is forcibly propelling you forward. I wanted to inscribe myself somewhere, anywhere, besides onto someone else’s life.”
― Marlowe Granados, Happy Hour
