"I wanna live in yr head."
"Jack cares enough to tell the truth - which can only get anyone in trouble - unless a reader takes the time to learn what's really being said."
"You've got me all fucked up. You've AFFECTED me. I can't eat! Christ."
"Yr the best writer I've ever *encountered*. Better than Vonnegut on acid."
"Yr voice is niiiiice."
"You're smart. I can tell."
"I think that possibly you are not as egotistical as you seem."
"only suggestion I might make is that we manage not to have any other women in common."
"funny at your apprehension at the Devil, i.e. ATU 15, i.e. Capricorn, i.e. god-of-the-material-world--------I would have taken you for a crypto-atheist, cynical-agnostic, morbid-humanist, or some- such, i.e., scantily moved at the mention of ol' Belezebubba..."
"try not to fuck things up: melodrama is better suited to adolescent grrls, not 20- something-yr-old-males, if I may be so stereotyping."
"you can't ask the reader permission to affect them. you give, they'll take, they'll give, you'll accept. it's true love, jack."
"i think i can like you better now that you're kinda far away and i'm not so preoccupied with your physicality, or whatever it is..."

"mainly was talking about you & how cool & misunderstood you were, how she was getting really hooked on you. if you weren't TRYING to cultivate a fan-base or develope intimate relationships, then your aim is off: the grrl talks about you on & on. you work some magic on her."
"Your mind from what I've seen is infested with Christian resignation...maybe you were brought up Catholic, I don't know. Read Milan Kundera...he is a true nihilist. Your ideas are hit and miss...your poetry is too weighed down by angst and pedantry to be good...by all measures your expression of yourself is a waste of time, because you present yourself as a wasted man...and I keep telling you that went out with grunge..."

don't seem to be any in this town".... "I bet you have terrible self esteem."
"You're a really great kisser."
"we can lump together our medium-sized
