“Have you really read all those books in your room?”
Alaska laughing- “Oh God no. I’ve maybe read a third of ‘em. But I’m going to read them all. I call it my Life’s Library. Every summer since I was little, I’ve gone to garage sales and bought all the books that looked interesting. So I always have something to read.”

“Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.”

“Le dije que me gustaba, y quedé insatisfecha.
La verdad era que a veces no me gustaba nada, pero no podía vivir sin ella.
Le dije que la quería, pero también quiero a mi perro.
Después le dije que la amaba, pero mi incomodidad fue mayor aún [...]
decidí prescindir del lenguaje, entonces me acusó de no querer comunicarme.
Desde hace unos años, sólo existe el silencio.
Encuentro, en él, una rara ecuanimidad:
la de los placeres solitarios.”
