Quotes by Antonya Nelson

"There are a thousand things to hear about, informationally, daily, but the thing that doesn't go away is the one to pay attention to."

Antonya Nelson

"Teenagers, especially girl ones, seem like the perfect canary-in-the-coal-mine characters to me. They capture American culture and its perversion, its hypocrisy - how absorbed we are with youth and beauty and sexualized imagery, for instance, while preaching abstinence and modesty."
