“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.”

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

“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
