Joyce Maynard
“Sex is a drug, Eleanor had told me. When sex enters into a situation, people lose all reason. They do things they would never do otherwise. These things they do may be crazy. May even be dangerous. May break their hearts, or someone else's... The real drug, I came to believe, was love.”
Joyce Maynard, Labor Day

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

James Frey
“Addicts, as a group, generally score far above average o intelligence tests.
Why?

James Frey, A Million Little Pieces

Jonathan Tropper
“We all start out so damn sure, thinking we've got the world on a string. If we ever stopped to think about the infinite number of ways we could be undone, we'd never leave our bedrooms.”
Jonathan Tropper, This is Where I Leave You

Jonathan Tropper
“Even under the best of circumstances, there's just something so damn tragic about growing up.”
Jonathan Tropper, This is Where I Leave You
