1) I have never chosen to read a nonfiction book on my own time because when I think nonfiction I oftentimes think of something boring and dry.

Because they're the ones who helped you put them there. And sometimes, if you're really lucky, they help you dig them back up.” I like this quote because I think it embodies Lawson's view of life in the sarcastic, funny but also true
