“Art is memory made public. Time wins in the long run. Books turn to dust, negatives decay, records get worn out, civilizations burn. But as long as the art endures, a song or a view or a thought or a feeling someone once thought worth keeping is saved and stays shareable. Others can say, “I feel that too.” ArtTimeBooksMemoryThoughtFeelingCivilizationsPubicShareable Book:Utopia Avenue Source: Utopia Avenue
“Sometimes Carlie hands me the squirt bottle of "Bam" (an acronym for something that begins, ominously, with "butyric" - the rest of it has been worn off the label) and lets me do the bathrooms.

I just concentrate on removing the pubic hairs from the bathtubs, or at least the dark ones that I can see.” BathroomPubic Book:Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America Source: Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
