“Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying “yes” begins things. Saying “yes” is how things grow. Saying “yes” leads to knowledge. “Yes” is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say “yes'.”
― Stephen Colbert

“This whole thing isn’t me, Jenny. I never wanted a huge wedding. I hate it when people stare at me. All this happened so fast. I mean, I know a year is a decent length for an engagement, but it’s a lot of pressure to plan this thing.”

“I wore a baseball cap out in public. I refused to go to any local bars or Walmart. I pretended to be a stranger.”
― Lucy Score, Rock Bottom Girl
