1. "[S]he found it impossible to move, the weight of her failure keeping her anchored to the sofa." ~ Kevin Wilson
2. "On the opening night of the Hazzard County High School production of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Buster was going to play Romeo. His sister, Annie, was to play Juliet. Other than Buster, no one backstage seemed to understand that this was a problem. "Let me ask you something, Buster," said Mr. Delano, the high school drama teacher. "Have you heard of the phrase the show must go on?" Buster nodded. "Well," Mr. Delano continued, "this is the kind of moment for which that phrase was coined." ~ Kevin Wilson
3. "I don't think I can keep looking at this stuff, Buster," she informed him, handing the camera to her brother. "It makes me want to drink either more alcohol or none, and I can't imagine either possibility." ~ Kevin Wilson
4. "Annie, no stranger to disappointment, felt the hope break down inside her body and disperse without any lingering effects." ~ Kevin Wilson
5. "These weird thoughts come into my head, and I don't even really want to think about it, but I can't let go of it until I take it as far as I can, until I reach some kind of ending, and then I can move on. That's what writing is like for me." ~ Kevin Wilson
6. "You are very sweet," she told him after a year of dating, as they shared dessert at a restaurant, "but it's like your family trained you to react to the world in a way that was so specific to their art that you don't know how to interact with people in the real world. You act like every conversation is just a buildup to something awful." ~ Kevin Wilson
7. "Was this how trauma worked? she wondered. Those closest to it remained dumbfounded by the fact that those who weren't present could derive meaning from it?" ~ Kevin Wilson
8. "Even awful people can be polite for a few minutes," their father told them. "Any longer than that and they revert to the bastards they really are." ~ Kevin Wilson
9. "What you'll find, I think, is that the things you most want to avoid are the things that make you feel the greatest when you actually do them." ~ Kevin Wilson
10. "Don't you see? The things we once loved do not change, only our belief in them... You are left with the only things that any of us have in the end. The things we keep inside of ourselves, that grow out of us, that tell us who we are." ~ Kevin Wilson
11. "She's got a way of making a man feel guilty for certain things he'd never feel bad about on his own, like watching someone shoot himself in the face." ~ Kevin Wilson
12. "Conventional lives are the perfect refuge if you are a terrible artist." ~ Kevin Wilson
13. "When she called her brother, Buster said that she should climb out the window of the bathroom and run away, which was his solution to most problems." ~ Kevin Wilson
14. "His writing had become, like a stash of rare and troubling pornography, something that must be kept hidden, an obsession that other people would be mystified to discover." ~ Kevin Wilson
15. "But do you enjoy it?" Annie asked. Raven stared at Annie's reflection in the mirror. "I don't hate it," Raven said. "You spend enough time with anything, that's all you can really ask for." ~ Kevin Wilson
16. "He would teach himself to dislike what he actually liked, to approve of what he did not totally understand, in the hopes that he would come out the other side with something that resembled inspiration, something that would make him more famous than Chris Burden or even Hobart Waxman." ~ Kevin Wilson

20. "Up to this point, all I knew were beaten paths, tattooed with footprints, and I had come to the understanding that they were not much fun to travel because so many people were waiting for you at the end, wondering what took you so long." ~ Kevin Wilson
21. "It had all been fake, a choreographed event, but they could not escape the dread that rattled inside their chests. It was a testament to their proficiency and talent as artists. They had affected themselves with the authenticity of the moment." ~ Kevin Wilson
22. "Annie took another sip of the vodka, letting the alcohol seep through her system, turning bad ideas into good ones." ~ Kevin Wilson
23. "Buster was not used to this experience, physical desire that was actually fulfilled. In his entire life, he had kissed five women. One of them had been his sister. This was, Buster understood, a terrible percentage. He could count on one hand the number of times he'd had sex and still have enough fingers left over to make complicated shadow puppets." ~ Kevin Wilson
24. "He felt certain that he was a failure, every artistic endeavor ending with his own surprise at how little had come from it. Perhaps that was how life worked, the expectation of success after each failure the engine that kept the world turning. Perhaps retrogression was an artistic endeavor in itself. Perhaps he might sink so far that he would find himself, somehow, returned to the surface." ~ Kevin Wilson
25. "Again,' he said and, without waiting for an answer, ran into the growing dark without fear, every single part of his body overwhelmed with the task of being alive." ~ Kevin Wilson
26. "I know why you picked that movie,' he told her. Annie smiled and said, 'It fits our life in a few ways, I guess.' Buster pointed at the screen, which was now blank. 'It shows you that you have to stay vigilant to find a missing person, even when people tell you not to, that it's possible to bring them back from the dead.' Annie shook her head. 'I picked it because it shows that after you bring someone back from the dead, you get to kill them yourself." ~ Kevin Wilson
27. "It was hard to see where he was going, and he was careful not to damage the camera, so expensive that his father made him name it (Carl), so he would treat it more carefully." ~ Kevin Wilson
28. "Atop a Ferris wheel, Orson Welles told Joseph Cotten how Italy's thirty years of war and terror and bloodshed had produced the Renaissance and Michelangelo, and how Switzerland's five hundred years of democracy and peace had produced, goddamn, only the cuckoo clock." ~ Kevin Wilson
29. "Buster sat on the curb in front of the college, waiting for his sister to pick him up. To pass the time, he skimmed the stories of the creative writing students. One was about a wild party and the story consisted almost entirely of a detailed explanation of a drinking game called Flip 'N Chug that seemed, to Buster, to be too complicated to facilitate the simple goal of getting drunk." ~ Kevin Wilson
30. "With each deep, measured breath, she imagined that various parts of her body were slowly going numb, from her fingers to her hand to her wrist to her elbow to her shoulder, until she was as close to dead as she could be. It was an old Fang family technique employed before doing something disastrous. You pretended to be dead and when you came out of it, nothing, no matter how dire, seemed important." ~ Kevin Wilson
31. "Children do have the potential to kill art. But now I think they kill the bad art. At least that is what my son has done for me." ~ Kevin Wilson
32. "I grew up not reading fiction; I watched movies and read comic books, and one of the ways I taught myself to think about narrative was through film." ~ Kevin Wilson
33. "I grew up reading not-serious literature, like comic books and pulp novels, so my instinct is to amuse the reader and entertain." ~ Kevin Wilson
34. "I have a kind of unhealthy obsession with movies." ~ Kevin Wilson
35. "I don't know if it's good or bad, but when I first started writing I imitated the narrative thrust of a movie. And as I worked, I learned what you can do in fiction that you can't do in movies, and vice-versa." ~ Kevin Wilson
36. "The simplest things are the hardest to understand." ~ Kevin Wilson
