Discussable Quotes from The Savage Noble Death of Babs Dionne:

"Big fucking surprise, you thought as you followed Scott with your gaze. Keep having twice as many kids as you can afford. Work like mules but stay poor as shit. Drink and smoke to blunt the misery. Grow old before your time and die without complaint, forever and ever, world without end, amen. Thanks a million, Pope Paul, you're the best." (p.12)

"Jason," she said, "the world will try to erase you, every day. That's what life if. You can't let it. You can't believe the lies it tells you about yourself".
