Sometimes a kind of glory lights up the mind of a man.

Can you honestly love a dishonest thing?

Well, I never seen one guy take so much trouble for another guy. I just like to know what your interest is.

A town is a thing like a colonial animal. A town has a nervous system and a head and shoulders and feet. A town is a thing separate from all other towns alike. And a town has a whole emotion. How news travels through a town is a mystery not easily to be solved. News seems to move faster than small boys can scramble and dart to tell it, faster than women can call it over the fences.

It is not good to want a thing too much. It sometimes drives the luck away. You must want it just enough, and you must be very tactful with Gods or the gods.

There are people who will say that this whole account is a lie, but a thing isn't necessarily a lie even if it didn't necessarily happen.

It's almost impossible to read a fine thing without wanting to do a fine thing.
