“It kills you slowly, this city, but in moments of fervor and loneliness you are willing witness, accomplice, and murderer, watching yourself age in the over-lit bathroom mirror, seeing how you grow squinty, wrinkled, and gray.” ~ Laura Jean Moore

American Dreams by Laura Jean Moore
“When I think of my most successful friends, I often wonder if they do not feel as suffocated or as false in offices as I do. I wonder if it is easier for them to quiet their laughter or if they are fortunate enough to enjoy the costume of business casual. Maybe, really, it is just the culture of linear advancement that I despise—everyone competing with each other in pretend congeniality while marching in the same direction. Or maybe it is that I have always had a hard time believing in institutions, and consensus, and belonging.” ~ Laura Jean Moore
