Quote of the Day (Sam Lipsyte, on ‘No Time for Self-Pity’)

“Certain truths, like the fact that in this twisted world it's the charlatans who emerge victorious, still hurt, but now is no time for self-pity.”—American novelist and short-story writer Sam Lipsyte, No One Left to Come Looking for You (2022)
