Joe Meno Quotes

People are just greedy animals, after all Picture Quote #1

[Sex] is really awkward. You know you have expectations and then it’s this great moment of connection and it’s a surprise. But that’s what so exciting about it is that sense of surprise Picture Quote #1

Sex scenes in books are always like first person, from this male perspective and just about how awesome he is. It feels like such a fantasy Picture Quote #1

Maybe it was better to just go on believing everything was OK, even when really bad things were just about to happen Picture Quote #1

Above the dirt of an unmarked grave and beneath the shadow of the abandoned refinery, the children would play their own made up games: Wild West Accountants! in which they would calculate the loss of a shipment of gold stolen from an imaginary stagecoach, or Recently Divorced Scientists! in which they would build a super-collider out of garbage to try and win back their recently lost loves Picture Quote #1

The most important things in your life are almost always impossible to predict Picture Quote #1

Imagination is a place where all the important answers live Picture Quote #1

The world of evil is only as evil as we allow it to be Picture Quote #1

Being decent is the only thing that matters in a terrible world like this Picture Quote #1

When she cries, it is quiet, tearless, almost completely imperceptible: one more unheard prayer Picture Quote #1

An act of evil is the death of wonder Picture Quote #1

In our town there is a secret spot where you can still see the stars at night, believe it or not. It is the only spot like that left, unclouded by the dwindling skyscrapers rising nearby. It is a good place to go to walk and talk in whispers. Following the little hill that rises from the park to a small clearing which overlooks the statue of the armless general on his bronze steed, most of us later remember this spot as the first place we knew we might be in love Picture Quote #1

Maybe that’s why people have friends at all. Not because they like them so much but because they don’t make them feel so much worse Picture Quote #1

I was getting close to thirty and was trying on the idea of becoming more mature. I was reading more. I had gone out and bought a lot of shirts Picture Quote #1

The longer human beings exist, it seems, the less likely we are to choose to be brave Picture Quote #1

And it’s exactly what’s wrong with the radio. It’s like... anything that tries to appeal to everybody always ends up sounding so cheap Picture Quote #1

Our worlds are so momentary. We are along all our lives and then go off that way as well Picture Quote #1

It is what we see when we imagine what the afterlife must be like: our happiest triumphs, our most sincere moments, stolen from the seam of our lives, a respite just before the onset of imminent tragedy Picture Quote #1

Beneath all of her thoughts and worries, beneath the complication of conflicting identities and needs, maybe it’s as simple as loving the way some other person looks when they’re sleeping Picture Quote #1

A book is actually a place, a place where we, as adults, still have the chance to engage in active imagining, translating word to image, connecting these images to memories, dreams, and larger ideas. Television, film, even the stage play, have already been imagined for us, but the book, in whatever form we choose to interact with it, forces us to complete it Picture Quote #1

The more I write, the more I’ve come to realize that books have a different place in our society than other media. Books are different from television or film because they ask you to finish the project. You have to be actively engaged to read a book. It’s more like a blueprint. What it really is, is an opportunity... A book is a place where you’re forced to use your imagination. I find it disappointing that you’re not being asked to imagine more Picture Quote #1

The city glitters past us with its sharp edges, reminding us of how tiny, how weak, how totally unimportant we are Picture Quote #1

What I’ve learned is that there is nothing in this life that does not fail to disappoint us, even our own deaths Picture Quote #1
