1 " You know the bad thing about being a survivor... You keep having to get into difficult situations in order to show off your gift. "
― Carrie Fisher , The Best Awful
2 " Do you or do you not like wearing earrings in your mouth that will one day smell like your ex-boyfriend's dick? "
3 " If she could live through that, from now on, she could live through anything—even love. But maybe instead of happily ever after--or maybe in addition to it--this time it would be everything. Everything ever after. And when they asked her if she was happy, this time she’d answer, “Among other things.”The way Suzanne saw it was that most things were ultimately manageable if you went at them the right way, even if they started out all wrong and hopeless and wrapped so tight around you that you just can’t breathe. Even the things you never thought you could get over or get through, those hurts you knew would never heal, those visions that troubled your sleep….All that eventually quieted and ceased to pull at you, if you wanted it to badly enough, if you were willing to outlast your difficulties. "
4 " Suzanne Vale had a problem, and it was the one she least liked thinking about: She’d had a child with someone who forgot to tell her he was gay.He forgot to tell her, and she forgot to notice. "
