“The universe has always conspired to fuck me up.”

“LA is the me city, Ruby said, and New York is the you city. In LA it's fuck me. In New York it's fuck you.”

“Some people like to bitch, Rose said. Bitching is OK. But for me, I choose a kind of joy -- a lucid compulsion -- a polemical kind of fuck-you-motherfucker joy.”

“Drop-dead freshly fucked gorgeous.”

“With tybo men there isn't much difference between fucking and killing.”

“They're from France, Ruby said, Vogue magazine. They only speak French except for fuck you.”

“Trying to change yourself is as hard as trying to change the universe. Maybe there’s no difference. The fact is, shit happens none of us plan on.”
