- [When asked to name favorite books] I'm a book nerd, so I have trouble choosing. When pressed to name my favorite novelist in conversation, I say F. Scott Fitzgerald, for his mastery of being descriptively succinct (or succinctly descriptive). It also works as a tongue twister.
- We all bear the responsibility of changing at least one other person in our lives - often a romantic partner whose heart we have broken so momentously that they were altered forever. Someone changed me. I know I've changed someone. Hopefully for the better.
