Very Quotes (page 356)

People who live in society have learned to see themselves in mirrors as they appear to their friends. Is that why my flesh is naked? You might say - yes you might say, nature without humanit? Things are bad! Things are very bad: I have it, the filth, the Nausea. Jean-Paul Sartre
I knew Faulkner very well. He was a great friend of mine. Well, as much as you could be a friend of his, unless you were a fourteen-year-old nymphet. Then you could be a great friend! Truman Capote
Amy Tan quote: "I tried to keep very still, but my heart felt like crickets..."
I tried to keep very still, but my heart felt like crickets scratching to get out of the cage. Amy Tan
