Vermont Quotes

“She sized him up again, once she was sure he wasn’t looking, and this time took note of his sneakers. She hated his sneakers. Not just because they were gray, which made them ugly and boring, but because they were gray with old, frayed, orange laces too. Timotheé Chalamet could pull that look off, but not her brother.”

“Jeffrey successfully managed a fast-food restaurant in Rutland, where he taught his staff to remain happy and friendly with customers at all times. ‘If you’re not smiling,’ he told them, ‘the customers won’t smile either, and that makes them one step closer to being nasty fucking assholes who none of us need in our lives.”

“There really was nothing else like it on earth. Nothing else he’d ever experienced before, anyhow. It was an unmatched, unrivaled, kinetic high just to be inside the front door of someone else’s house without their knowledge or permission, let alone any of the other miniature highs of opening drawers and cabinets to snoop around. Whereas some folks were built to avoid such drama by nature, Pat lived for this kind of thing. He’d been born for it.”

“It was a high no booze or drug could ever hope to achieve in similar doses, though if he could bottle that feeling for himself and the world, he wouldn’t hesitate at all. It was simply unlike anything else he’d ever felt before, and not being able to tell anyone what he’d done only made the adventure that much more incredible.”

“I represent a rural state and live in a small town. Small merchants make up the majority of Vermont's small businesses and thread our state together. It is the mom-and-pop grocers, farm-supply stores, coffee shops, bookstores and barber shops where Vermonters connect, conduct business and check in on one another.”

“Last night, I had a telephone townhall for my constituents back in Vermont, and we had 11,500 people on it. And I had people on Social Security saying if getting fewer benefits will help us on the debt, they're for it. And I had a farmer saying that he's had subsidies for 35 years but we can't afford them anymore.”

“The United States remains the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee health care to all of our people. And yet we are spending almost twice as much per capita. We have a massively dysfunctional health care system. And I do believe in a Medicare for all single-payer system, whether a small state like Vermont can lead the nation, which I certainly hope we will, or whether it's California or some other state.”

“This country needs room to grow and expand. In all my own newspapers I read frightful tales of the shameful atrocities being perpetrated on our Democratic minorities in Maine and Vermont. My patience is almost at an end, and if provoked much further I will place both countries under American protection, even if I have to send in my tourists to start trouble so I'll have to send in a force to restore order.”

“Vermont tradition is based on the idea that group life should leave each person as free as possible to arrange his own life. This freedom is the only climate in which (we feel) a human being may create his own happiness. ... Character itself lies deep and secret below the surface, unknown and unknowable by others. It is the mysterious core of life, which every man or woman has to cope with alone, to live with, to conquer and put in order, or to be defeated by.”
