Jessica Townsend
“We don't ignore bigotry, Jack. That's how cowardly bigots turn into brave bigots.”
Jessica Townsend, Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow

John Irving
“In the world according to Garp, we are all terminal cases”
John Irving, The World According to Garp

Sarah Vowell
“His boss, Isaac (Robert Guillaume), agrees but tells him to do it anyway “because it’s television and this is how it’s done.” Dan replies, “Yeah, well, sitting in the back of the bus was how it was done until a forty-two-year-old lady moved up front.” A few minutes later Isaac looks Dan in the eye and tells him, “Because I love you I can say this. No rich young white guy has ever gotten anywhere with me comparing himself to Rosa Parks.” Finally, the voice of reason, which of course was heard on a canceled network TV series on cable.”
Sarah Vowell, The Partly Cloudy Patriot

Laurie Notaro

Laurie Notaro

Ruth Ware
