Quotes by Nathan Rabin (?)

“When I think about all the time I wasted feeling guilty and ashamed about things I should have embraced long ago, it fills me with guilt and shame.”
― Nathan Rabin, The Big Rewind: A Memoir Brought to You by Pop Culture

“If I were capable of human emotions, tears of joy would have been streaming down my face. You know that feeling you experience upon witnessing the birth of your first child? It was like that, only a thousand times better, because free burritos were involved.”
― Nathan Rabin, The Big Rewind: A Memoir Brought to You by Pop Culture

“As a wise man once said (or probably should have), “If you’re going to hire somebody to write a book about you, it’s always a good idea to choose somebody who doesn’t think you suck.”
