• Whatever one of us asked the other to do - it was assumed the asker would weigh all the consequences - the other would do. Thus one might wake the other in the night and ask for a cup of water; and the other would peacefully (and sleepily) fetch it. We, in fact, defined courtesy as 'a cup of water in the night'. And we considered it a very great courtesy to ask for the cup as well as to fetch it.

  Sheldon Vanauken

Mientras Lassiter se agachaba junto al cuerpo de pretzel del Hermano, sintió un poco de náuseas y se tomó un momento para saborear lo que le colgaba entre las piernas, sólo para asegurar a los chicos de abajo que, por muy iconoclasta que fuera, algunas cosas eran sagradas.

"Well," she said. "You're my brother. I would have loved you. I would have...had to.

• In school, they would tell you that life wouldn’t come to you; you had to go out and make it your own. But when it came to love, the message for girls seemed to be this: Don’t. Don’t go after what you want. Wait. Wait to be chosen, as if only in the eye of another could one truly find value. The message was confusing and infuriating. It was a shell game with no actual pea under the rapidly moving cups.
