Famous Franny Billingsley Quotes

“It is true that I can trip over anything and nothing – a speck of dust, a patch of sunlight, an idea.

I navigate the world well enough in my own way.”

“I don’t mind the disapproving ones so much. It’s the tolerant ones I can’t stand, the ones who smile at Rose, who speak to her ever so slowly and gently. They don’t realize how very intelligent Rose really is. They’re just terrifically pleased with themselves. Look at me! they all but shout. See how broad-minded I am! How wonderfully progressive, how fantastically twentieth century!”
