Anne Berest
“WHAT YOU WON’T FIND IN HER CLOSET * Three-inch heels. Why live life halfway? * Logos. You are not a billboard. * Nylon, polyester, viscose and vinyl will make you sweaty, smelly and shiny. * Sweatpants. No man should ever see you in those. Except your gym teacher – and even then. Leggings are tolerated. * Blingy jeans with embroidery and holes in them. They belong to Bollywood. * UGG boots. Enough said.”
― Anne Berest, How To Be Parisian: Wherever You Are

Maria Semple
“It’s for survival. You need to be prepared for novel experiences because often they signal danger. If you live in a jungle full of fragrant flowers, you have to stop being so overwhelmed by the lovely smell because otherwise you couldn’t smell a predator. That’s why your brain is considered a discounting mechanism. It’s literally a matter of survival.” “That’s cool.”
― Maria Semple, Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Osamu Tezuka
“Comics are an international language, they can cross boundaries and generations. Comics are a bridge between all cultures.”
― Osamu Tezuka

Kevin    Wilson
“The toxicity of love coupled with pain can erode even the strongest heart.”

“I know it's a lot. But she can handle it. I'd rather ruin her with the truth than ruin her with lies.”
― Maria Semple
