I like "rock, paper, scissors two-thirds." you know. "rock breaks scissors." "these scissors are bent. they're destroyed. i can't cut stuff. so i lose." "scissors cuts paper." "these are strips. this is not even paper. it's gonna take me forever to put this back together." "paper covers rock." "rock is fine. no structural damage to rock. rock can break through paper at any point. just say the word. paper sucks." there should be "rock, dynamite with a cutable wick, scissors."

[...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.

'is it the work?' joyce indicated assent without even raising his head to look at his friend. of course it was the work; isn’t it always? how many words did you get today?' the friend pursued. joyce (still in despair, still sprawled facedown on his desk): 'seven.' seven? but james… that’s good, at least for you.' yes,' joyce said, finally looking up. 'i suppose it is… but i don’t know what order they go in!

Because it's kind of great, being an idea that everybody likes. but i could never be the idea to myself, not all the way. and agloe is a place where a paper creation became real. a dot on the map became a real place, more real than the people who created the dot could never have imagined. i thought maybe the paper cutout of a girl could start becoming real here also. and it seemed like a way to tell that paper girl who cared about popularity and clothes and everything else: 'you are going to the paper towns. and you are never coming back.
