“My mother thinks some disaster has happened if I don't return a phone call from her within twenty-four hours. It's hard to explain that the only chance to return the call will be when a disaster ISN'T happening, stormy being the prevailing climate with surprise outbreaks of calm.”
“Y'know, if anyone happens to know the name of a good literary agent that will actually return phone calls...”
“There is no such thing as a good call at 7 AM. It's been my experience that all calls between the hours of 11 PM and 9 AM are disaster calls.”
“That situation is a broken heart just waiting to happen" I said, shaking my head. "I dont think he's capable of being faithful." -Beautiful Disaster”
“Oh, I'm starting to cry again. That's what happens when you think about life being fair. And I can't explain why it isn't . . . I don't think it's something anybody knows.”
“She doesn’t return my phone calls. I’d like them back, unopened.”
