“My mother wanted us to understand that the tragedies of your life one day have to potential to be the comic stories the next.”

“One of the greatest tragedies in life is to watch potential die untapped.”

“Our stories are what we have,” Our Good Mother says. “Our stories preserve us. we give them to one another. Our stories have value. Do you understand?”

“I never wanted to get to a point in my life where I knew what was going to happen next. I felt like most people just couldn't wait until they found themselves settled down into a routine and they didn't have to think about the next day, or the next year, or the next decade because it was all planned out for them. I can't understand how people can settle for having just one life.”

“Always be comic in a tragedy”

“You can't please everyone with your stories but remember if one person likes the story then you have a fan for life!! And you have made someone's day.”
