Amy Danles: Sarah

Quotes 

• [Sara's holding a gun to her head] 

  Sara : Ok, heres the point in the story where I have this cathartic revelation that suicide's wrong, that life's worth living and everything'll be OK. Yeah, right. And that's why this story doesn't work!

  [Throws the gun down] 

  Sara : 'Cause I just don't buy it.

  Julie : Nobody buys it, but that's not why you go on.

  Sara : Why then?

  The Maxx : Because things'll change. You'll change.

  Sara : What about right now?

  Julie : Right now, you wait.

• Sara : Life is pretty pathetic when even your own hallucinations lie to you.

• [about her schoolmates] 

  Sara : They're all necro-nerds and Sand freaks. They think death is romantic. Death is hard and cold and ugly, not some cute chick.

• Sara : Did my saying that shock you? GOOD! Writers are supposed to shock people.

• Sara : I was sitting under the Jones Street underpass yesterday. That's because I want to be a writer and writers gotta have experiences, like underpasses.

• Sara : What a cruel world, letting something this profound be conveyed in words this trite!

• Sara : Mom called, said to call if you needed anything.

  Julie : Great. Hey, when you talked to your mom, did you happen to mention that there's a slight chance this entire world is all my dream and if I wake up it could end everything.

  Sara : Well I might have left that part out.

  Julie : Just as well, it's not exactly my favorite part.

• Sara : No matter how low you are on the food chain, there's always somebody lower.
