“Showing up at school already able to read is like showing up at the undertaker's already embalmed: people start worrying about being put out of their jobs.”
― Florence King, Reflections in a Jaundiced Eye

“So I volunteered for the night run, sleeping by day like a vampire to avoid those reasonably happy people who had settled for less than heaven. I'd had the door shut on those soft, sensuous pearly gates one too many times, left to stand sheepishly on my little tarnished cloud as I watched someone else enter paradise with the one I worshipped. The heart can only take so much before it begins to hide in shame at its own foolishness.”
― Bobby Underwood, Night Run

“Like all romantics, I wanted the kind of love that didn't exist in this world, at least not in my time. It had once upon a time, but it had faded like the final scene of a black and white movie long ago, never to return.”
― Bobby Underwood, Night Run

“Evde de karnımız doymuyor değildi ama büyükannem, pişirdiği ucuz et yemeklerinin daha ilk lokmasını ağzımıza götürürken, "Umarım beğenirsiniz, şunun yarım kilosuna tam kırk bir sent verdim," deme alışkanlığına sahipti, ben de o zaman bir pazar günü rostosu yerine madeni paraları yiyormuşum duygusuna kapılırdım.”
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
