“Understanding one’s type also leads to an awareness that the personality disguises one wears at times are temporary alterations that do not have the capacity to threaten an individual’s authenticity.”
Sandra Nichols, INFP: A Flower in the Shade

“It’s like a buffet, basically. Like this really expensive buffet, except also you have to eat all of what’s on your plate or they expel you. So conceptually that’s kind of fucked up. If that happened at real buffets, that would be incredible. If you were like, ‘Hmm, this moo shu pork has kind of a chalky dirt taste,’ and then some enormous Chinese guy is like, ‘EAT IT OR WE WILL GIVE YOU AN F, AND ALSO WE WILL KICK YOU OUT OF THIS RESTAURANT,’ that just doesn’t seem like a good business model.”
Jesse Andrews, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl

Aimee Bender
“When people danced at weddings, I would stand on the side grimacing, but not because I did not want to dance. I just couldn't seem to. Cousins and happy types would cheerfully grab my hands and draw me into the center, but even with that encouragement, with smiles like fields of daisies surrounding, I could only make it through half a song. The magnet inside the wall was too strong.”
Aimee Bender, The Color Master: Stories

“Men love to watch two women kiss, but how I love to watch two men.”
Aimee Bender

Aimee Bender
“I walk up the street with beer taste in my mouth, warm and bitter and wonderful, and what do you know, there's that girl again, the belly button girl, leaning back to show that marvelous hole to the world. She has no fucking idea.
When I walk past her, I want to grab her wrist and drag her down into the pothole, which is just a block or two back. She looks at me and smiles because she knows she has nothing to fear from me, she thinks I'm her ally, but I'm not.”
Aimee Bender, The Girl in the Flammable Skirt
