“There's a certain kind of conversation you have from time to time at parties in New York about a new book. The word "banal" sometimes rears its by-now banal head; you say "underedited," I say "derivative."

“What's cool about renting is that you don't care about your house getting destroyed. So I think that is the number-one thing. Just going "Sure, you can jump off the roof. I think that's safe!

“Look. Every partisan in every party has to learn one thing: Sometimes your people are wrong. To paraphrase an old retort, saying "My party, right or wrong" is like saying "My Kennedy, drunk or sober." Credibility is earned, and standing up and saying "Fie!" now and then reinforces your truthfulness.” PeopleLooksSometimesPartyOne ThingStandingDrunkNow And ThenSoberCredibilityTruthfulnessPartisansParaphraseRetorts Author:James Lileks
“It was V-day and I was stuck at home while the guy I was dating was at an Anti-Valentine's Day party. How wrong was that?
