Because as a person, I've always wanted to be very likeable, and I think that's a horrible thing, particularly for women. You're always like, "Oh, I hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings. I hope they like me!" And that's just so stupid.” ThinkingWantWritingPersonsFeelingsWantedHurtStupidHorribleLike MeRebellionHorrible ThingsLikeable Author:Tama Janowitz
