Lighter Quotes

Voltaire

Work, Nothing, Place

Giada De Laurentiis

Important, Down, Off

Craig Ferguson

Great, Hate, Fun

Gone, Happier, Turtle

In the middle of the night, when you're ambiguously ethnic, like me, when you're brown, beige, mauve, siena, one of those lighter browns in the Crayola box. You have to be careful of the cops and robbers, because nobody's quite sure what you are, but everybody has assumptions.
Sherman Alexie

Night, Sure, Everybody

NeNe Leakes

Stupid, Woman, Black
