“I'm always brilliant after the fact.”
“…trying to extinguish the brilliant hopes that blazed up a word of encouragement.”
“i'm alternatingly brilliant and witless-and sleepless: bed is just a swamp to roll in.”
“I'm always disappointed when I see the word "Puritan" tossed around as shorthand for a bunch of generic, boring, stupid, judgmental killjoys. Because to me, they are very specific, fascinating, sometimes brilliant, judgmental killjoys who rarely agreed on anything except that Catholics are going to hell.”
“Sometimes just looking into a person's eyes can tell a graphic story and a brilliant novel if you have the ability to turn it into words.”
