If I could only turn the etch-a-sketch of my life upside down.
Lynda Barry
gospel singing ... is the rawest, sweetest, uninhibited and exquisite sounds a person can make or hear. It isn't music, it's an entire experience you feel and live. A sound to rise you up again.

Lynda Barry

Lynda Barry
I am about as detailed as a shadow.
Lynda Barry
If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.
Lynda Barry
I remember my comic strips being called new wave. It bugged me.
Lynda Barry
The point of the daily diary exercise is not to record what you already know about what happened to you in the last 24 hours. Instead, it’s an invitation to the back of your mind to come forward and reveal to you the perishable images about the day you didn’t notice you noticed at all.
Lynda Barry
I've gotten a lot of livid letters about the awfulness of my work. I've never known what to make of it. Why do people bother to write if they hate what I do?
Lynda Barry
I do dumb stuff, like playing my favorite dumb Barry White song and lip-synching into the mirror so it looks like his voice is coming out of my mouth.
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
