“생각해보면 사람들은 대부분 남이 안 되는 쪽으로 권하는 것 같다. 남이 잘못되어야만 내가 사회에서 성공할 수 있다고 다들 믿는 걸까. 간혹 정직하고 순수한 사람을 만나면 세상 물정 모르는 도련님이라는 둥, 어린애라는 둥 트집을 잡아 업신여기기나 한다. 그렇다면 초등학교나 중학교에서 도덕 선생이 '거짓말하면 안 된다' '정직해야 한다'라고 가르치지 않는 편이 낫다. 차라리 학교에서 거짓말을 하는 법이나 사람을 믿지 않는 기술이나, 혹은 사람을 이용하는 법을 가르치는 편이 세상을 위해서나 자신을 위해서나 훨씬 낫지 않겠나.”

She might be a terrible friend, but we both know somewhere in there she has a heart.” With Rosie and me being so near in age, she was almost as close to Elle as I was. Elle had even encouraged Rosie to try out for the junior varsity cheer squad, and would help her with the routines—something that the previous varsity cheer captain wouldn’t have dreamed of doing.”
