Quote by Addy Evenson

“Nostalgia is old hat,” Carol says. Carol tears down the yellow leaflets, pinup girls, and wallpaper garden. For a while everything is bare. A month goes by and it is Christmas. Carol only hangs up the pinup girls. Then she hangs up the wallpaper garden. The leaflets have been burnt.”

“In my father's day a night operator, whose name he'd have known, could have told him who'd called. It would probably have been the only light on her board at that time of night, and she'd have remembered which one it was, because they were calling the doctor. But now we have dial phones, marvelously efficient, saving you a full second or more every time you call, inhumanly perfect, and utterly brainless; and none of them will ever remember where the doctor is at night, when a child is sick and needs him. Sometimes I think we're refining all humanity out of our lives.”

“How could they make me fall in love with a city I called home, a city where I stitched my heart and soul into, only to make me rip it all out and leave? The breeze that brought me happiness, the waves of the beach where I found peace, the people who felt more like family than my own, how could they ask me to leave it all behind? The city where I laughed, cried, grew up, and truly lived... How could they expect me to walk away, knowing it would be the last time I strolled through these familiar streets that to me felt like heaven?”
