Crazy Little Thing
“Being surrounded by the people you loved is what made life... well, life.” ― Tracy Brogan, Crazy Little Thing
“Panty Melter: an exceedingly rare species of man blessed with so many desirable attributes he effortlessly gains access into a girl's panties.” ― Tracy Brogan, Crazy Little Thing
“Jesters must tremble in fear at the magnificence of your humor.” ― Tracy Brogan, Highland Surrender
“Glasgow? Isn’t that in Sweden?” Dody was asking. He shook his head. “Scotland.” “Oh, yes, Scotland. Why, you must know Sean Connery then? He’s Scottish. Or is he German?” Des bit back a smile. “He is Scottish, but no, I never had the pleasure.” “Really? That’s surprising. Sweden is such a small country.” “Scotland.” “What? Oh, yes. Scotland. Why did you move from there, dear? Was it because of the potatoes?” She patted his hand sympathetically. “The potatoes?” “Potato famine was in Ireland, Mom,” Jasper said, banging the oven door shut. “In the 1840s,” I added, wanting to show off a little of my vast wealth of useless, esoteric facts.” ― Tracy Brogan, Crazy Little Thing
“Without the despair of today we can’t experience the joy of tomorrow.” ― Tracy Brogan, Crazy Little Thing
“Hating him had not come upon me all at once. It was gradual, creeping over me slowly, insidiously, like frostbite, until eventually I was frozen solid.” ― Tracy Brogan, Crazy Little Thing
“You’ll find the balance you need as soon as you let go of how you think things should be and accept them as they are.” ― Tracy Brogan, Crazy Little Thing
“You’re my knight in shining armor.” “Oh, if only slaying dragons were as easy as buying tampons.” ― Tracy Brogan, The Best Medicine
“Then he kissed me with days' worth of pent-up longing.” ― Tracy Brogan
“Ours was the kind of dinner conversation one might expect to find in an English-as-a-second-language course or in the babble of a Pentecostal church.” ― Tracy Brogan, Crazy Little Thing
“The conversation blended into a sort of anecdotal jambalaya, with bits of our history woven in with pop culture trivia.” ― Tracy Brogan, Crazy Little Thing
“There is no such thing as a perfect husband. Or a perfect wife. Or a perfect marriage. Sometimes love supersedes logic, and the best thing to do is just follow your heart.” ― Tracy Brogan, The Best Medicine
“You know how, when you get to the top of a mountain, you enjoy the view for about five minutes before you start looking around for the next summit? That’s where I’m at, Jake. I need a new challenge.” ― Tracy Brogan, Love Me Sweet
“I’m very proud of the young woman you’ve become. Your happiness is tantamount to mine, and so I send you off on this matrimonial journey with an Irish blessing: May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past. May your hands be forever clasped in friendship, and your hearts joined forever in love. To the bride and groom.” ― Tracy Brogan, Hold On My Heart
“Hello?” I tried to sound skinny.” ― Tracy Brogan, Crazy Little Thing
“Talking to the sperm-donor-formerly-known-as-my-husband was just the garlic frosting I needed on this total piece of shit day.” ― Tracy Brogan, Crazy Little Thing
“He could fight two men at once on the battlefield and be certain of his victory. Defeating two women was another thing entirely.” ― Tracy Brogan, Highland Surrender
“Never trust anything you hear from an old Irishman,” my grandmother Gigi always said, and she should know because she’d married and buried three of them.” ― Tracy Brogan, My Kind of Forever
