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
I used to live a very social life and never spend much solitary time looking at birds or reading.
Lynda Barry
I live in constant fear of being fired or dropped for that dark part of my work I can't control.
Lynda Barry
If I had had me for a student I would have thrown me out of class immediately.
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
Dear Anyone Who Finds This, Do not blame the drugs.
Lynda Barry
I wasn't afraid to be laughed at or be loud.
Lynda Barry
I remember my comic strips being called new wave. It bugged me.

Then how can you ever know about the beautiful goodness of Mud? How bad it wants to be things. How bad it wants to get on your legs and arms and take your footprints and handprints and how bad it wants you to make it alive! Mud is always ready to play with you. Seriously you should try it!
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
You know that great car-stomach feeling when you fly over a hump? That was my whole body.
