“especially in comedy, that you’ve taken away the power of others to shame or embarrass you. You’re already making fun of yourself. What have you left them with? You’ve taken all their ammunition away and tucked it in your own pocket.” She spread her hands out to her sides. “People want to make fun of my size. I’ve already beat them to it. They want to call me a loud mouth. I’ve already claimed that nickname as my own. They’ve got nothing. They don’t get a vote on how I feel about myself.”
― Roni Loren, Yes & I Love You

“Life can be a little shit sometimes. But shit also makes great fertilizer.”
― Sarah Adams, Beg, Borrow, or Steal
