Quotes From Kissing Jessica Stein:
Jessica: You don't appreciate the chaos and absurdity
of life on this planet. You don't understand irony, or ethnicity,
or eccentricity, or poetry, or the simple joy of being a
regular at the diner on your block. I love that. You don't
drink coffee or alcohol. You don't over eat. You don't cry
when you're alone. You don't understand sarcasm. You plod
through life in a neat, colorless, caffeine free, dairy
free, conflict free way. I'm bold and angry and tortured
and tremendous and I notice when someone has changed their
hair part, or when someone is wearing two very distinctly
different shades of black or when someone changes the natural
temperment of their voice on the phone. I don't give out
empty praise. I'm not complacent or well-adjusted. I can't
spend fifteen minutes breathing and stretching and getting
in touch with myself. I can't spend three minutes finishing
an article. I check my answering machine nine times every
day and I can't sleep at night because I feel that there
is so much to do and fix and change in the world, and I
wonder every day if I am making a difference and if I will
ever express the greatness within me, or if I will remain
forever paralyzed by muddled madness inside my head. I've
wept on every birthday I've ever had because life is huge
and fleeting and I hate certain people and certain shoes
and I feel that life is terribly unfair and sometimes beautiful
and wonderful and extraordinary but also numbing and horrifying
and insurmountable and I hate myself a lot of the time.
The rest of the time I adore myself and I adore my life
in this city and in this world we live in. This huge and
wondrous, bewildering, brilliant, horrible world.
