If I waste all my charity, all I’ll wind up with in the end... - Jarod Kintz, This Book is Not FOR SALE

"I’m half chameleon, half camouflage, and wholly in love with you, though you’d never be able to see it."

"My acquaintances aren’t worth the aqua I drink after they leave me thirsting for something more meaningful. I don’t want refillable relationships—I want connections so deep they are black abysses."

"The word long is short, and so is the word short, but why is the word love as long as long? Shouldn’t it be longer?"

"A nugget of wisdom is more valuable than a nugget of gold—and considerably harder to pan out of a river. I’ll be 33 in March, and all I’ve found so far is fool’s gold. Still, I was able to trade it for political favors."

"I arose like a rose, and this is how I knew I was in love. In the garden of life, I’m better off in your neighbor’s yard."
