“Sometimes I can’t decide what would be worse: if we died from starvation or if we never died.”
Max Booth III, We Need to Do Something

“The guests just stand there, staring at us like we’re all a part of some bad dream. And we are. But the thing is, none of us are ever going to wake up again. But the thing is, that’s perfectly okay.”
Max Booth III, The Nightly Disease

“Once I heard her refer to those tiny black heads people get on their faces and necks as “n-word babies”—only, she’d actually said the word. Of course, Dad had thought that was the funniest thing in the world. Thank god for cancer.”
Max Booth III, We Need to Do Something
