Quote by Thomas Christopher Greene

“It is his raw ambition that draws her in, the impracticality of it all, this idea that he wants to do great things with words, that he wants to chase some kind of ancient fame, perhaps even become one of the people they read about in books.”

“If I could mark clearly, convincingly and consistently what was good for me and also what was bad — if I could say yes and also no, as if it were the law — it would become my law. It finally had to. I understood that it wouldn’t be easy, it would be very hard; I’d need to resist the habit I had developed long ago – with conviction. I’d have to be impolite, an inconvenience, and sometimes awkward. But if I could commit, all that discomfort would add up to zap predatory threats like a Taser gun. I’d stun them. They’d bow to me. I’d let my no echo against the mountains. And better to feel bad for a moment saying no – and stop it – than to get harmed.”

“Si dimentica che ancora non le ho dato una risposta. Mi permetta di farlo ora senza attendere oltre. La ringrazio per l'omaggio che mi porge. Sono consapevole dell'onore che mi fa con la sua proposta, ma non posso fare altro che declinarla" "So bene" rispose il signor Collins con un gesto affettato della mano "che di solito le signorine respingono la prima proposta dell'uomo che intendono segretamente accettare, e che talvolta il rifiuto si ripete per una seconda e anche una terza volta. Non mi sento perciò affatto scoraggiato da ciò che mi ha appena detto e continuo a sperare di portarla presto all'altare.”

“It’s my Prom King, Brett. He’s tapping at the window, wanting me to roll it down or to get out of the car — what an image that would be. How will I ever live that down? I can’t even see myself laughing about it twenty years from now. If the neighbors walk past they’ll probably report me to social services, I can hear them on the phone now, “She’s too lazy to even go to the bathroom, she just shits in her car.”
