Lynda Barry
But when the thing that is scaring you is already Jesus, who are you supposed to pray to?
Lynda Barry
I go to work the minute I open my eyes.
Lynda Barry
These are very confusing times. For the first time in history a woman is expected to combine: intelligence with a sharp hairdo, a raised consciousness with high heels, and an open, nonsexist relationship with a tan guy who has a great bod.
Lynda Barry
You can't know what a book is about until the very end. This is true of a book we're reading or writing.
