One thing I know about—and this is from personal experience—in life, sometimes
you got to eat a whole lot of shit. Piles of it. More shit than you can imagine.
If you took a pack of wolves with stomach issues, and locked them in your apartment
for a month, and then came home with a spoon, that’s the amount of shit I’m talking about.
-- Jackie, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
