“...the fact remains that, from the time when I could first walk until I adopted high heels, lipstick, and a pretence of helplessness, a muscle in the forearm was worth far more to me than any amount of brains in the head.”
Phyllis Brett Young, Anything Could Happen!
“Civilization, when it took you beyond the necessity to know how to snare a rabbit, moved you into an area where you fought for mental and moral survival. And whether or not you won this particular kind of battle depended to a great extent on where you fought it, and with what weapons. That is, if you fought at all. If you did anything beyond labelling yourself 'I, the victor'—while stripping cellophane from fresh-frozen rabbit beside a suburban barbecue.”
Phyllis Brett Young, The Torontonians
“Of course, you could not say that a community with a Loblaw's that supplied Shakespeare was entirely devoid of culture. But damn near. Damn near.”
Phyllis Brett Young, The Torontonians
