Jonathan Tropper
“Childhood feels so permanent, like it's the entire world, and then one day it's over and you're shoveling wet dirt onto your father's coffin, stunned at the impermanence of everything.”
Jonathan Tropper, This is Where I Leave You

Wally Lamb
“It is all connected Dominick," she said. "Life is not a series of isolated ponds & puddles; life is this river you see below, before you. It flows from the past through the present on it's way to the future.”
Wally Lamb, I Know This Much Is True

James Frey
“The Young Man came to the Old Man seeking counsel.
I broke something, Old Man.
How badly is it broken?
It's in a million little pieces.
I'm afraid I can't help you.
Why?
There's nothing you can do.
Why?
It can't be fixed.
Why?
It's broken beyond repair. It's in a million little pieces.”
James Frey, A Million Little Pieces

James Frey
“Addicts, as a group, generally score far above average o intelligence tests.
Why?
You tell me.
I guess maybe we're smart enough to have figured out how shitty things are and we decide addiction is the only way to deal with it.”
James Frey, A Million Little Pieces

Jonathan Tropper
“It would be a terrible mistake to go through life thinking that people are the sum total of what you see.”
Jonathan Tropper, This is Where I Leave You
