Posted by Amy Steele in Books on October 25, 2012

—I Married You for Happiness by Lily Tuck
QUOTES on Frustration
Posted by Amy Steele in Uncategorized on September 27, 2010
I’m so poor. I’m so poorly utilized. I’m ridiculously single. I’m broke, I’m frustrated and I don’t have any health coverage.
—The Low Life [film]
I don’t hate myself, as a general rule. I’d say the best way to describe it is that I have moments of self-loathing at fairly regular intervals.
–Janeane Garofalo
Tonight I am ugly. I have lost all faith in my ability to attract males, and in the female animal that is a rather pathetic malady . . . I don’t care about anyone, and the feeling is quite obviously mutual. What is it that makes one attract others?
–Sylvia Plath, Journals
I’m not miserable. I’m just not there yet.
–Ally McBeal [TV show]

Out of the ash
I rise with my red hair

–From A Girl Becomes a Comma Like That by Lisa Glatt
Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Romania.
–Dorothy Parker, Not So Deep as a Well (1937), “Comment”
