“The older I get, the more I think the barometer for intelligence is how kind you are. Because it’s not an easy thing to do, staying mindful, after all you go through in life.”
― Josh Malerman, Incidents Around the House

“I actually have a boyfriend.” “Nice. He can fuck off.”
― Ali Hazelwood, Cruel Winter with You

“worst taste in TV shows. When you get angry, you get quiet instead of communicating. You care way too much about pleasing the people around you, especially your dad, who absolutely takes advantage of it. You become sleepy and basically useless past nine thirty at night. You have this odd belief that you cannot tell people how you really feel, or you’ll be saddling them with the weight of the world and they’ll leave you. But it’s okay. I see these things. I’ve always seen them, and I love you”
― Ali Hazelwood, Cruel Winter with You

“So the goal, I think, is to stay kind for as long as you can, no matter what happens to you. No matter what you go through, no matter how many breaks you get and how many you don’t.”
― Josh Malerman, Incidents Around the House
