Ruth Ware
“I hate being driven—driving is like karaoke—your own is epic, other people’s is just embarrassing or alarming.”
― Ruth Ware, In a Dark, Dark Wood

Sarah Vowell
“Freedom of expression truly exists only when a society’s most repugnant nitwits are allowed to spew their nonsense in public.”
― Sarah Vowell, Lafayette in the Somewhat United States

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

John Irving
“Everybody dies … The thing is, to have a life before we die.”
― John Irving, The World According to Garp

Sarah Vowell
“Being a nerd, which is to say going too far and caring too much about a subject, is the best way to make friends I know.”
― Sarah Vowell, The Partly Cloudy Patriot
