Lynda Barry
Love will make a way out of no way

Lynda Barry
I started doing cartoons when I was about 21. I never thought I would be a cartoonist. It happened behind my back. I was always a painter and drawer.
Lynda Barry
If I had had me for a student I would have thrown me out of class immediately.
Lynda Barry
If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.If you say No! I don't want it right now, that's when you'll get it for sure. Love will make a way out of no way. Love is an exploding cigar which we willingly smoke.
Lynda Barry
This ability to exist in pieces is what some adults call resilience. And I suppose in some way it is a kind of resilience, a horrible resilience that makes adults believe children forget trauma.
Lynda Barry
What is an idea made of? Of future, past and also meanwhile.
Lynda Barry
I used to live a very social life and never spend much solitary time looking at birds or reading.
Lynda Barry
You know that great car-stomach feeling when you fly over a hump? That was my whole body.
