"Now let's see," Ken said to Helen one night, ticking off the taboos on his fingers, "we are seeking a neighborhood where there are no Jews, no Polish people, no Italians, no Negroes, no children, no Catholics. Do I have the list right?"
"Don't be mean," Helen said.
I’m just trying to get this straight. You know, out in Nebraska when I was a kid, us Swedes weren't held in too high repute. Do they mind Swedes here?"

“People with healthy emotional lives can love without having to find physical expression right away. Your love will be greater if you can save it. The economic capacity for parenthood is a necessary preliminary to love in this country.”

He stroked her foot. "Did you ever look at a foot?"
"Yes," she said, laughing.
"I mean, really look at it."
"Sure."
"It's very beautiful. The way it's made. This arch, like a steel spring. The marvelous things like steel cords just under the skin.“
Johnny foot fetish?

“she probably had met another man, with a car of his own, who could run up to Virginia and bring her to football weekends and dances, who wouldn't expect her to sit around in waiting rooms of railroad stations with him, or to endure one double feature after another. Soon she would probably marry someone like that, John thought in despair, someone who wasn't afraid to try to kiss her.”

“For the last year Margaret had been worried about Molly. Already she was beginning to develop a rather startling figure, Surely It was unnatural for that to begin so young, Margaret thought; she felt there was something almost obscene about it. Both she and Helen had always had "dainty" figures, by which Margaret meant flat-chested, and no member of the family had ever looked like Molly.”

“When she had first started reading John's letters, as soon as Molly had returned from boarding school in the spring, Margaret had been surprised at their innocence. Maybe they had a code, she thought, and were saying things which weren't apparent.”

“My Molly doesn't want the world to know
Her charms exist.
She wants to see but not be seen Like gulls in mist.
She envies arctic things upon the snow, White bear, the fox; She envies jungle birds whose hue is green Or gray on rocks.
My Molly doesn't want to be admired Or to be kissed.
Of me I fear she'll soon get sick and tired
For I insist.”
