This is ridiculous, Ryan. This is sad (Kara)

The lines we draw that make us who we are are potent by virtue of being non-negotiable, and even, at some level, indefensible. Sally will not wear synthetics. That's who she is.

Ryan Bingham (in Walter Kirn's Up In The Air)

The female body is a work of art. The male body is utilitarian. It's for gettin' around. It's like an all-terrain vehicle. Elaine Benes.
