Quotes

  • “Thank you,” she said icily. “I accept your good wishes and your resignation. And you can go to hell, Dave Hull.”Dave went to Texas.
  • I’d better get back to work. It’s like butting my head against a stone wall, but somebody’s got to keep butting, if only for the sake of other people’s morale.
  • You’re as nutty as a peck of pecans, ma’am.
  • We’ll jump off that bridge when we come to it.
  • I folded the paper and wriggled around in the seat. Buses are like candy bars, I thought. The price goes up and the size goes down. Each new bus seem to have less leg room and a lower headrest that its predecessor, so that you had to be a contortionist to take a nap.
  • “‘Morning, Sam,” the coffee boy said. “How about some coffee?”“‘Morning, Herb,” I said. “That’s the first intelligent remark I’ve heard in some time.”
