“Stay away from the ones you love too much. Those are the ones who will kill you.”
― Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

“In my world, we don't have the time or the energy to bullshit about our feelings or worry about anyone else's. When I've found myself in professional situations, I'm driven nearly to distraction by how much fucking effort is wasted making sure we all feel nice and fuzzy and comfortable. I don't get that; it's not part of work to me. And it keeps me from getting ahead. If someone asks me my opinion on something, I simply give it. I don't bother spending five minutes talking about the weather and how lovely your shirt is first. I figure nobody's getting paid to win the office nice competition.”
― Linda Tirado, Hand to Mouth: Living in Bootstrap America

“I know you're not thirsty. That's bullshit. Stop lying. Lie the fuck down, my darling, and sleep.”
― Adam Mansbach, Go the Fuck to Sleep

“This would be my torture: all that didn't bear thinking about would devote itself to forcing me to bear thinking about it.”
― Glen Duncan, The Last Werewolf
