Every snapshot collector has obsessions. Some only collect photos of cars. Others like World War II, or babies, or old-timey girls in old-timey swimsuits. I happen to collect the weird stuff: photos that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up a little. The uncanny Picture Quote #1

I’m no expert on girls, but when one tries to pinch you four times, I’m pretty sure that’s flirting Picture Quote #1

Though I imagine we’re killing ourselves right now in all manner of ways that’ll seem insane to people in the future. And as doors to the next world go, a bog ain’t a bad choice. It’s not quite water and it’s not quite land - it’s an in-between place Picture Quote #1

If you are a conscious human being who has opinions about the world, then you will unconsciously put your own perspective into the book Picture Quote #1

Some of my favorite photos from the old days are of people who maybe didn’t know how to smile. Maybe smiling in photos wasn’t an accepted form of behavior back then. But the big eyes and the oversized dolls that people are carrying, and it’s something about their hair - the anachronisms of these photos are really what creep me out Picture Quote #1

One of the peculiar children’s perspective out of time allows him to take minute interest in every resident of the town and to chronicle everything we did for the entire day he lives over and over Picture Quote #1

I have an unusual hobby: I collect pictures of people I don’t know. It started when I was a kid growing up in South Florida, the land of junk stores, garage sales, and flea markets, as a kind of coping mechanism Picture Quote #1

If you must fail... fail spectacularly! Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it’s better not to look back Picture Quote #1

Do you ever find yourself climbing into an open grave during a bombing raid and wish you’d just stayed in bed? Picture Quote #1

I liked this idea: that peculiarness wasn’t a deficiency, but an abundance; that it wasn’t we who lacked something normals had, but they who lacked peculiarness. That we were more, not less Picture Quote #1

There was romance in the unknown, but once a place had been discovered and cataloged and mapped, it was diminished, just another dusty fact in a book, sapped of mystery. So maybe it was better to leave a few spots on the map blank. To let the world keep a little of its magic, rather than forcing it to divulge every last secret. Maybe it was better, now and then, to wonder Picture Quote #1

So one day my mother sat me down and explained that I couldn’t become an explorer because everything in the world had already been discovered. I’d been born in the wrong century, and I felt cheated Picture Quote #1

If I never went home, what exactly would I be missing? I pictured my cold cavernous house, my friendless town full of bad memories, the utterly unremarkable life that had been mapped out for me. It had never once occurred to me, I realized, to refuse it Picture Quote #1

There was a girl who could fly, a boy who had bees living inside him, a brother and sister who could lift boulders over their heads Picture Quote #1
