“I have guts, just not when it counts.”

“But when I look at this farm I keep thinking it's not whether I have the guts to go but if I have the guts to stay.”

“I vote to have my vote voided—which means my vote won’t count even when it counts, and it will count even when it won’t count.”

“So when you’re nervous, you count?” “Not just when I’m nervous,” I said. “It’s… all the time. I count the seconds during pauses in conversations. I count the minutes when I’m waiting on something. Sometimes, when I’m kind of panicked or anxious, I count my heartbeats. Something about counting makes me feel like… like I have the power. Like knowing how much time has passed or how many steps I’ve taken from one place to another will somehow keep me in control of the situation.”

“I go by the gut. I might not appear to have any talent but I've got plenty of gut instinct.”

“I should just listen to my gut and then do the opposite.”
