Me Talk Pretty Some Day, by David Sedaris

“A dopey letter is still a dopey letter, no matter how you dress it up.” – pg. 144

“The smack and clatter of a typewriter suggests that you’re actually building something. At the end of a miserable day, instead of grieving my virtual nothing, I can always look at my loaded wastepaper basket and tell myself that if I failed, at least I took a few trees down with me.” – pg. 147

“I know it sounds calculating, but if you’re not cute, you might as well be clever.” – pg. 156

“If I have one saving grace it’s that I’m lucky enough to have found someone willing to handle the ugly business of day-to-day living.” – pg. 247
