As I've continued reading my book, I have a few new quotes to add.
1. "Stoners aren't the most reliable people. Even they would have to agree." -Bree
2. "I would celebrate several ways. One with my family. My mid-October birthday always meant a trip to San Francisco to play tourist on Fisherman's Wharf, scarf too much seafood, shop Ghiradelli Square, and visit my grandma- to see just how far she had slipped away toward the underworld of dementia. We went down the weekend before and it was just as I imagined. I knew things had taken a turn for the worst when Grandma stood up in church and yelled, 'I have to go to the bathroom!'." -Bree
3. "The problem with resolutions is they're only as solid as the person making them." -Bree
4. "Clear Blue Easy was clearly blue. But there was nothing easy about finding out I was pregnant. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know who to turn to. You've probably heard that story before. But until you're in those shoes, wearing them seems so straightforward. Keep your baby? Give it away? Abort your baby? Give it life? If you think you have a clear idea, try throwing drugs into the picture. Not quite so cocky now, are you?" -Bree
5. "Passing out is the strangest thing. One minute you're here. Then with a mere cerebral flutter, you're not. Part of your brain insists you're dead. Of course, you're not. Another part says it's better here, in the dark. Where, exactly, are you? Somewhere, you hear voices, urgent. Could you be in limbo? A thin beam of light calls to you. Will you reach heaven? Brighter now, white and beautiful. You hurry in that direction. Your eyes acquiesce, and open to discover. . .you're back in hell, after all." -Bree
