"If she wanted to think that apathy and independence were the same thing, good for her. Maybe she was right."

"The fact is any time spent at work not sleeping in the bathroom is wasted time."

"[...] everyone drank too much coffee too, at the wrong times and for the wrong reasons. They drank it when they came in every morning to get going, and then again in the afternoon to keep going. They ran on caffeine fumes all day and never fucking got anywhere.

"Cowardice, when done correctly, can be its own kind of bravery."

"The world is your oyster, but youre allergic to shellfish."

"This book is an onrushing series of twisted gags, some of them hilarious, others not so much. (Neilan would be funnier if he wasnt so smugly sure of how funny he is.) A highlight: "And then there was some sex . . . We were like two dead fish being slapped together by an off-duty clown." [...] Juvenile fun for undiscerning lads with two hours to kill."
