Memorable Quotes
-
“If finding an apartment is like falling in love, buying one is like proposing on your first date and agreeing not to see each other until the wedding.”
-
“I ask about guns not because I want one of my own but because the answers vary so widely from state to state. In a country that's become increasingly homogeneous, I'm reassured by these last charming touches of regionalism.”
First Sentence
WHEN MY FAMILY FIRST MOVED to North Carolina, we lived in a rented house three blocks from the school where I would begin the third grade.
