1 " CANDY: I learned long ago not to give a flying f*ck what strangers thought about me. H*ll, I only mildly care what my friends think. Life is too short to stress others’ opinions. "

3 " These days, kids need to be sensitive and care about others. Not even fake-caring either, but they’re actually expected to worry about everyone’s every feeling. Children basically have to behave as no adult has behaved ever. "
4 " I'm not someone who offers advice. I don’t believe people really want anything besides sympathy when they ask for advice. I know I don’t. "
5 " I never understood why you cared what those morons thought. They weren’t your friends. They didn’t know shit about you, so what did their opinions matter? "
6 " They’ve clearly done their research on how to sell homeschooling. I don’t disagree with them, though. They’re weird kids, and public school will try to make them normal. I know since I was weird too. Despite the best efforts of my teachers, I remained weird yet turned out better than anyone else I knew growing up. "
7 " You’re still young enough to start over. He’ll keep you down until you feel life’s passed you by. That’s what men like Andrew do. He’s not the kind of guy who beats you down in an obvious way. He does it slowly, every day until you begin doing it for him. You tell yourself you can’t do better. You say you can’t be on your own. You believe his lies because you’ve heard them for too long. "
8 " We’re basically loners. If I didn’t have the kids, I’d be alone a lot, and I’d be okay with that. I don’t need to be entertained by people. I want my space, so I understand you feeling trapped. "
9 " He relies on no one person. This gives him safety in some ways but makes him vulnerable in others. “I don’t trust people either,” I say once our food arrives. “I don’t want to be sucked into people’s drama or feel like I owe anyone.” “Do "
10 " Keeping Candy happy means making me happy and me being happy is all that really matters in life. "
11 " I expected Candy to pick a different rental house. The little yellow one always gets positive comments from broads. Instead, she chose the blocky, brick house. It’s the kind of house I’d have picked. Like the fuckwit I’ve become, I take her choice as a sign that she and I are made for each other. “Why "
12 " Oh, and don’t even fucking think of cheating. If I catch you cheating, I’ll cut the bitch’s face off and sew it onto your face. That way, if you want to see your bitch so much, you can just look in the mirror. "
13 " Aiming low is why you’re a happy person. "
14 " Cricket shakes her head. “I’m never getting married.” “Jinxed yourself, hug-a-baloo. Everyone knows once you state something as a fact the universe immediately decides you must be proven wrong.” Cricket "
15 " Grinning again, Hayes walks back to his office. “I’ll visit your douche-in-law after I get a few other things done.” “Thank you.” “Remember these heartwarming moments when I forget your birthday or name down the road. Oh, and I’m not giving you shit for Secretaries Day.” “I’ll steal some of your emergency cash from the sugar container and buy myself something for Secretaries Day.” I hear Hayes laugh quietly. "
16 " You seem to forget how I’m your employer and so acting like a mouthy bitch isn’t a smart way to keep your job.” “Your threat would be more convincing if you weren’t stuck with temps who left post-it notes declaring you’re the devil and she hopes you get sucked back into hell.” Hayes "

18 " Outwitting children isn’t difficult, but it takes commitment and energy. "
19 " You can insult me, but it only makes you look weak.” “Why weak?” he asks, losing his smile. “By devaluing me so you’ll look better in comparison, you actually make yourself look like a punk.” “Thanks, "
20 " Why do you have to be an asshole?” “That’s my comfort zone. "
