I held hands with her all the time; that doesn't sound like much, I realize, but she was terrific to hold hands with. Most girls if you hold hands with them, their goddam hand dies on you, or else they think they have to keep moving their hand all the time, as if they were afraid they'd bore you or something. Jane was different. We'd get into a goddam movie or something, and right away we'd start holding hands, and we wouldn't quit till the movie was over. And without changing the position or making a big deal out of it. You never even worried, with Jane, whether your hand was sweaty or not. All you knew was, you were happy. You really were. ~J. D. Salinger

These days I seem to think about the things I forgot to do for you and all the times I had a chance to. ~Jackson Browne
#quotes #jackson-browne #wish

Memoir is actually the most egoless genre, even though it might seem ostensibly so much ego-driven.

If it's purely autobiographical and ego-driven, it's going to fail. ~Nick Flynn
