Joshua Ferris Quotes

We Hated Not Knowing Something. We Hated Not Knowing Who Was Going To Walk Spanish Down The Hall. How Would Our Bills Get Paid? And Where Would We Find New Work? We Knew The Power Of The Credit Card Companies And The Collection Agencies And The Consequences Of Bankruptcy. Those Institutions Were Without Appeal. They Put Your Name Into A System, And From That Point Forward, Vital Parts Of The American Dream Were Foreclosed Upon. A Backyard Swimming Pool. A Long Weekend In Vegas. A Low-end BMW. These Were Not Jeffersonian Ideals, Perhaps, On Par With Life And Liberty, But At This Advanced Stage, With The West Won And The Cold War Over, They, Too, Seemed Among Our Inalienable Rights.
