Rest In Peace, Carrie Fisher, Your Are Eternally Quotable

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Sometimes I feel like I've got my nose 
pressed up against the window of a bakery, 
only I'm the bread.

born: 10/21/56
died: 12/27/16

I tell my younger friends that no matter how I go,
I want it reported that I drowned in moonlight,
strangled by my own bra.

Oh! This’ll impress you: I’m actually in
the Abnormal Psychology textbook.
Obviously my family is so proud.
Keep in mind though, I’m a PEZ dispenser
and I’m in the abnormal Psychology textbook.
Who says you can’t have it all?

  1. During a 2010 interview with The New York Times,
    Fisher reflected on the stereotypically
    feminine role she felt she was expected
    to play in her marriage to Simon.

    “I’m not as cooperative as you might want
    a woman to be,” she said. “Every man, I think,
    or at least the ones I end up finding,
    there’s no such thing as a consort.
    All men are kings. That was
    my little discovery in the process...
    I really thought men’s fantasy
    is to have an intellectual geisha.
    So what I did was I learned to cook
    and I took a massage course.
    But that’s not all of it.
    You have to also agree.

    1. If it were true that every man
      wanted to be king, then all men
      would have no choice but to kill
      each other, or at least half
      of the male population.

      But I agree with your right
      to disagree with that assessment.
