Still, it baffles me that these self-righteous, self-enthralled waddlers get such special treatment. As if it’s so hard to spread your legs and let a man ejaculate between them. You know what is hard?...
She’d always been one of those girls who wanted what anyone else had, even if she didn’t want it.
She hummed to herself because she was an unrivaled botcher of lyrics. When we were first dating, a Genesis song came on the radio: She seems to have an invisible touch, yeah. And Amy crooned instead,...
She chirps the last bit as if that were all to say about a book: It’s good or it’s bad. I liked it or I didn’t. No discussions of the writing, the themes, the nuances, the structure. Just good or bad.
She called me Nerdy because I wore glasses and read books and ate yogurt on my lunch break. I'm not really a nerd: I only aspire to be one. Because of the high-school-dropout thing, I'm a self-didact....
She called me Mille and she couldn’t keep her hands off me. I adored her.
Sensmoralen i historien var: Mr Binks var ett otroget svin som stoppade kuken båda här och där, men du förstår, äktenskapet är en kompromiss.
See, when Amy likes you, when she’s interested in you, her attention is so warm and reassuring and entirely enveloping. Like a warm bath. You feel good about yourself. Completely good, for maybe the f...
See, Curry, Detective Willis felt I was holding back some information and so he sulked off, like all men do when they don’t get their way with women they’ve fooled around with.
People love talking, and I have never been a huge talker. I carry on an inner monologue, but the words often don’t reach my lips. She looks nice today, I’d think, but somehow it wouldn’t occur to me t...
People do what they’re supposed to do and then wait for you to pile on the appreciation—they’re
Our society was utterly, ruinously derivative (although the word derivative as a criticism is itself derivative). We were the first human beings who would never see anything for the first time. We sta...
On a nearby telephone pole flapped a grainy photocopy of an unsmiling teen, missing since October 2007. Two more blocks, and what I thought was a copy of the same poster turned out to be a new missing...
Not that love is a competition. But I don't understand the point of being together if you're not the happiest.
Nonono, Nick,’ Gilpin interrupted. He pulled a chair up to the table and sat on it backward. I wondered if cops actually did that. Or did some clever actor do that, and then cops began doing it becaus...
No one ever forgives me for anything, she whimpered, her chin shaking. I wanted to tell her I did, but I didn’t. Instead I poured her another drink.
Never go back to a man with fresh bruises. Don’t give him the satisfaction,
My sense of weightlessness, I think, comes from the fact that I know so little about my past..
My father had infused my childhood with unspoken blame. He was the kind of man who scoped around looking for things to be angry at. It had turned me into a knee-jerk suck-up to authority—Mom, Dad, tea...
Moje podziękowania zawsze są dość wymuszone. Często wcale nie dziękuję. Ludzie robią, co do nich należy, a potem oczekują nie wiadomo jakiej wdzięczności - jak sprzedawcy mrożonego jogurtu, którzy sta...
