Dexter Palmer
“To agree to a marriage is to consent to a mutual act of transformation, to promise to ensure that the versions of yourselves that you will become will remain in harmony, though you yourselves can never stay the same.”
Dexter Palmer, Version Control

Jess Row
“In the first couple of weeks there were big piles of trash outside every house. All the stuff you couldn’t find another use for and couldn’t compost. Yogurt cups, torn trash bags, dirty diapers, hair-spray cans, paper towels. Sometimes you’d see a pile that was as high as your waist. Nathan said it was a purge, a cleanse. But you could just as well say that who we were went out with the empties. We will never get our selves back.”
Jess Row, The Empties

Amy Ellis Nutt
“Lesson number one: “Sexual orientation is who you go to bed with,” he told Spack. “Gender identity is who you go to bed as.”
Amy Ellis Nutt, Becoming Nicole: The Transformation of an American Family

Jess Row
“Country’s friggin’ dying, man, you have to triage the motherfucker.”
Jess Row, The Empties

Dexter Palmer
“The thing about memories wasn't that many of them inevitably faded, but that repeated recall of the ones you remembered burnished them into shining, gorgeous lies”
Dexter Palmer, Version Control
