“No guts, no story.”

“It takes guts to go after your dreams, and well, no guts, no story.”

“I do not use my intellect to write my stories and books; I have a gut reaction to the things that my subconscious gives me.”

“Dumpers are not inherently worse than Dumpees-breaking up isn't something that gets done to you; it's something that happens with you." "And the other moral of the story is that you, Smartypants, just told an amazing story, proving that given enough time, and enough coaching, and enough hearing stories from current and former associates of Gutshot Textiles, anyone-anyone-can learn to tell a damned good story." "Something about telling that story made my gut grow back together.”

“By the time I had gotten off the phone, I knew that I was going after Anna. My gut told me that she wasn't just a story. And besides, I wanted to see her, dressed in blood.”

“something genuine like a mark in a toilet, graced with guts and gutted with grace”
