There's something unnatural about a woman finding babies or, more specifically, conversation about babies, boring. They'll think she's bitter, jealous, lonely. But she's also bored of everybody telling her how lucky she is, what with all that sleep and all that freedom and spare time, the ability to go on dates or head off to Paris at a moments notice. It sounds like they're consoling her, and she resents this and feels patronized by it.: David Nicholls, One Day, 2010

I am amused when goody-goodies proclaim, from the safety of their armchairs, that children are naturally prejudice-free, that they only learn to "hate" from listening to bigoted adults. Nonsense. Tolerance is a learned trait, like riding a bike or playing the piano. Those of us who actually live among children, who see them in their natural environment, know the truth: Left to their own devices, children will gang up on and abuse anyone who is even slightly different from the norm.: Josh Lieb, I am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to be Your Class President, 2009

It's interesting, on your second day of existence, to realize that your father is going to blame all the future failures of his life on you.: Josh Lieb, I am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to be Your Class President, 2009

Important days don't look like anything special when they start. Invariably, the sun rises and people wake up. Coffee is swilled and eggs are swallowed. Everybody goes about the business of acting like their lives matter and then, no matter how important the events of the day end up being, the sun invariably sets. The sun rose before the soldiers stormed Omaha Beach on D-Day, and the sun set after Archduke Franz Ferdinand was killed. Sunrises and sunsets are real jerks about putting things in perspective.: Josh Lieb, I am a Genius of Unspeakable Evil and I Want to be Your Class President, 2009

When a man is ready to marry, he is often not too particular about the lady.: Eucharista Ward, Match For Mary Bennet, 2009
