“There's an intimacy in listening to somebody's lies, I've always thought--you learn more about someone from the things they wish were true than from the things that actually are.”
Jennifer Dubois, A Partial History of Lost Causes

“One can become so sentimental about a person's absence, but it's impossible to be consistently sentimental in his presence - when you're confronted with the quotidian selfishness and silence that, I'm given to understand, comprise most of a life. But we were just so new.”
Jennifer Dubois, A Partial History of Lost Causes

“Learning to be an adult was learning that your best was rarely quite enough.”
Jennifer duBois, Cartwheel
