Anne Lamott Quotes
- Your experiences will be yours alone. But truth and best friendship will rarely if ever disappoint you.
- Seeing yourself in print is such an amazing concept: you can get so much attention without having to actually show up somewhere... You don't have to dress up, for instance, and you can't hear them boo you right away.
