Franny was staring at the little blotch of sunshine with a special intensity, as if she were considering lying down in it.

I am always saying "Glad to've met you" to somebody I'm not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though.

Then again you may pick up just enough education to hate people who say, 'It's a secret between he and I.'

Know your true measurements and dress your mind accordingly

I know he's dead! Don't you think I know that? I can still like him, though, can't I? Just because somebody's dead, you don't just stop liking them, for God's sake--especially if they were about a thousand times nicer than the people you know that're alive and all.

If there's one thing I hate, it's the movies. Don't even mention them to me.

I feel overwhelmingly grateful to them, but I don't know what to do with their invisible gifts.
