“History is a merciless judge. It lays bare our tragic blunders and foolish missteps and exposes our most intimate secrets, wielding the power of hindsight like an arrogant detective who seems to know the end of the mystery from the outset.”
― David Grann, Killers of the Flower Moon: Oil, Money, Murder and the Birth of the FBI

“And then I go over to the Delta Help Desk, which is an oxymoron, and I go, "Can I please go home on an airplane?" and they go "No! In fact, we"re gonna frame you for murder, and you're gonna go to jail for thirty years!"
And I go, "Why are you doing this to me?!"
And they go, "Because we're Delta Airlines, and life is a fucking nightmare!”
― John Mulaney

“I consider trying to explain over text, but I know Daphne will be all shades of pissed on my behalf, and I don't really want to get into it right now. Last time Ford and I had a big bust-up, she went all philosophical on me, explaining what she calls her Dimple Theory.
Basically, it revolves around the fact that Carla has this one particular smile that brings out her dimples. They're cute as hell. But they only ever seem to come out when Daphne's around. Of course, Daphne noticed this. And it spawned her Dimple Theory: that when you're in a relationship with someone, you bring out something no one else can. Sometimes that can be good-like with Carla's magnificent dimples. "And sometimes," Daphne added pointedly, "two people bring out the worst in each other.”

“High school is hell; the further down the ladder you are, the more like Hell it becomes. For kids like Carrie, it's really like the ninth circle of Hell.”
