Quotes by Kevin Wilson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“A lot of times when I think I’m being self-sufficient, I’m really just learning to live without the things that I need.”
Kevin Wilson, Nothing to See Here

“Because I kept fucking up, because it seemed so hard to not fuck up, I lived a life where I had less than what I desired. So instead of wanting more, sometimes I just made myself want even less. Sometimes I made myself believe that I wanted nothing.”
Kevin Wilson, Nothing to See Here

“You took care of people by not letting them know how badly you wanted your life to be different.”
Kevin Wilson, Nothing to See Here
