For a long time I wanted to be a comic strip artist but when I started doing them in my teens they were getting really elaborate with tons of poses and a lot of information. ~ Craig McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Craig McCracken
In reference works, as in sin, omission is as bad as willful misbehavior. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Books are a bad family - there are those you love, and those you are indifferent to; idiots and mad cousins who you would banish except others enjoy their company; wrongheaded but fascinating eccentrics and dreamy geniuses; orphaned grandchildren; and endless brothers-in-law simply taking up space who you wish you could send straight to hell. Except you can't, for the most part. You must house them and make them comfortable and worry about them when they go on trips and there is never enough room. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Maybe I was wrong about you, Jonah. You really do love my Ally, don't you?"

"If love means you want to give every part of your heart and soul to another person, just to make them happy, then yes. I love your daughter with every part of me. ~ Kelli McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Kelli McCracken
When I was in college, I wrote poetry very seriously, and then once I had started writing short stories, I didn't go back to poetry, partially because I felt like I understood how incredibly difficult it was. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Despite popular theories, I believe people fall in love based not on good looks or fate but on knowledge. Either they are amazed by something a beloved knows that they themselves do not know; or they discover a common rare knowledge; or they can supply knowledge to someone who's lacking. Hasn't everyone found a strange ignorance in someone beguiling? ... Nowadays, trendy librarians, wanting to be important, say, Knowledge is power. I know better. Knowledge is love. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Fearlessness is an accounting trick. You feel the fear; you just defer it. I could stand on the cliff immobile, feeling terrified, or I could leap and feel the terror while falling. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
We chose the actors thru a series of auditions when we started the show. ~ Craig McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Craig McCracken
Books remember all the things you cannot contain. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
I can't imagine not joking even at the worst of times. And for me, it's sort of automatic. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Aunt Helen Beck had many intentions about her death. She was about being dead the way some people are about being British - she wasn't, and it seemed she would never be, but it was clearly something she aspired to, since all the people she respected were. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Basicly I'm in charge of all creative aspects of the show. ~ Craig McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Craig McCracken
Grief lasts longer than sympathy, which is one of the tragedies of the grieving. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
I'll never be bothered if I don't have a hit because you look at the songs that are hits and they're none of my favourites. Just the fact that we do have fans waiting here, that's exciting enough. ~ Bert McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Bert McCracken
There were a lot of things I loved about working in a library, but mostly I miss the library patrons. I love books, but books are everywhere. Library patrons are as various and oddball and democratic as library books. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
There are two MFA programs here at the University of Texas, and I read on the jury of both of them. And it's amazing to me how many really talented young writers seem to fear humor. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
All I can say is, it's a sort of kinship, as though there is a family tree of grief. On this branch, the lost children, on this the suicided parents, here the beloved mentally ill siblings. When something terrible happens, you discover all of the sudden that you have a new set of relatives, people with whom you can speak in the shorthand of cousins. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Sometimes kissing is better than sex. Especially kissing someone for the first time ~ Bert McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Bert McCracken
People think they're interesting. That's their first mistake. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Tweeting about objects means I don't need to bid on them, which is a blessing. Buying something is a way of saying, 'Look at this!' So is tweeting. So, I guess, is writing fiction. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Vilnius was once known as 'The Jerusalem of Lithuania' because of the number of prayer houses and scholars there; in the first half of the 20th century, it became a center of Yiddish-language scholarship. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
The biggest thing I've learned is that you only have one chance. You only have today to live-but you gotta take it and make it the best you can ~ Bert McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Bert McCracken
Maybe better that way, to not know our parents, to love them as we move away from them--they're on the shore and we're on a ship, moving away; later we will switch places as they sail away from us, and we say to them, a little longer. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
A comic strip that your parents read when they were young is a curious thing: it's an heirloom, and it's also intimate. You peer through windows and look at the things that made your elders laugh, and then you wonder whether the laugh really belongs to you. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Though my love for you is infinitesimal, your eyes are as dewey as any old decimal. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Whether the color of your skin is black, white, yellow, brown or purple
the extent of this tragedy is so incredibly devastating that we had to do something. ~ Bert McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Bert McCracken
Whatever you have lost there are more of, just not yours. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
When I first met my husband, he was sculpting Vilnius out of clay - a sort of Vilnius, anyhow: a map of an imaginary European city based on the Lithuanian capital - to illustrate his second novel. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Life likes jokes; life is constantly making jokes, even at the most inopportune moments. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
God doesn't look down and see good people and bad people; he sees bad people and the Lord Jesus. ~ Brett McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Brett McCracken
There's a good chance that in 40 years, after the floods, people zipping by on scavenged jetpacks with their scavenged baseball caps on backwards, I will be in my rocking chair saying bitterly, 'I remember when 'all right' was two words.' ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
I work in my office on the campus of the University of Texas. It's the sort of place described as 'book-lined', but it's recently tipped over into 'fire-hazard' territory. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
For some people, history is simply what your wife looks good standing in front of. It's what's cast in bronze, or framed in sepia tones, or acted out with wax dummies and period furniture. It takes place in glass bubbles filled with water and chunks of plastic snow; it's stamped on souvenir pencils and summarized in reprint newspapers. History nowadays is recorded in memorabilia. If you can't purchase a shopping bag that alludes to something, people won't believe it ever happened. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
And while I was not an admirer of people in the specific, I liked them in the abstract. It is only the execution of the idea that disappoints. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
When you've lost a baby, everyone around you expects you to be fine once the new baby is born, as though that somehow takes away the pain of losing the first child. I needed to express how wrong that was. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Sometimes we place faith in the wrong people for the right reasons. We're too blind to their faults, and they're too blind to appreciate us.
- Brighton Hayes ~ Kelli McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Kelli McCracken
To venture into space we must be strong-willed and determined. We must be fully committed to its exploration and discovery; space permits no half measures and is unforgiving of mistakes. ~ Henry Joy McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Henry Joy McCracken
Welcome to the world of grown-ups. You might be good at math, and somebody pays for tht, but what you really love to do is sing. Do you think Oscar prizes above all else his ability to book guests into a hotel?.. The sad fact of the world ... is almost nobody exactly chooses what they get paid to do.
Peggy to James ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
I'm astounded by people who can listen to music when they write. I can only assume that they have multi-track brains, while mine is decidedly single. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Short fiction is like low relief. And if your story has no humor in it, then you're trying to look at something in the pitch dark. With the light of humor, it throws what you're writing into relief so that you can actually see it. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
The shows are either 11 or 22 minutes and they move pretty quickly, and that's part of the charm of them - so it was just trying to keep that in mind and keep the energy of the story moving, even though we were dealing with a longer format. ~ Craig McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Craig McCracken
The only way to fall in love is to allow yourself to be vulnerable.
The only way to dare to dream and making incredible things happen is to be vulnerable. ~ Bert McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Bert McCracken
But you cannot fly away from people who have flown away from you; you cannot fly into your own arms. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
It's about being proud of who you are, being proud of your situation and just being stoked that things are always going to get better or always gonna get worse and that's such a great thing. Every day is a new surprise. ~ Bert McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Bert McCracken
I always want the last line to be really good, which may sound silly, but I want it to be a last pleasing line. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
Dennette Mccracken quotes by Elizabeth McCracken
Revising stuff lately, I was shocked to see how often my characters scratched their ankles, felt their feet, and touched their own ears. ~ Elizabeth McCracken
