“It was the first time I'd ever felt truly jealous of anyone else in my entire life.”

“It's funny how this total stranger could relate to me better than anyone else I'd ever met. It was as if I'd known her my entire life.”

“I was insanely jealous of Lucille. More jealous than I'd ever been of anyone in my entire life. Because she truly meant it. All I could think was, why can't I be as stupid as Lucille? Why can't I blame all my successes and all my failures on The Lord Jesus Christ Almighty? I would be so fucking happy if I lived like that. ”

“The first time I'd ever felt happy-and I mean ever-was when I'd been lying in my bed, staring out my window, watching the stars shine harmoniosly with one another.”

“For the first time ever, I'd managed a great parting line and a grand exit. And it still felt like crap.”

“You cannot truly listen to anyone and do anything else at the same time.”
