Jennifer Egan Quotes

So Now When A Fight Starts Up I Don't Walk Away Like I Used To, I Crowd In And Wait For Those Ghost Words To Start Coming Up. I've Heard Chump And Howler And Groovy, I've Heard Fuzz And Kike And Kraut And Coon And Square And Roughhouse And Lightweight And Freak Show And Mama's Boy And Cancer Stick And Fairy And Party Hearty And Flyboy And Knuckle Sandwich, And I Grab Up These Expressions, I Trap Them In My Head And I Save Them. Because Every One Has The DNA Of A Whole Life In It, A Life Where Those Words Fit In And Made Sense Because Everyone Else Was Saying Them, Too.
