“There is something about where I am in my life and how the world feels to me that I need to know where I'm going when I enter a book. I don't even watch TV anymore, other than certain episodes of Columbo. My heart can't take it. Everything is too devastating. I can't even watch sports in real time.”
― Renee Gladman, My Lesbian Novel

“When times are normal, it takes ten minutes to walk from our house to the store. At raspberry time, which is July, it takes two hours; you stop that often to moominee — that is, to pick them and eat them right from the stem (another verb exists for picking them to consume later: moysoo).”
― Tomson Highway, Permanent Astonishment
