good-morning morning levels
Morning can always be counted on to bring us back to a more realistic level.
men people looks
Why, man alive, Laura! Just look about you a little. What do you see? A world full of common people! All of 'em born and all of em' going to die! Which of them has one-tenth of your good points! Or mine! Or anyone else's, as far as that goes - gosh! Everybody excels in some one thing. Some in many!
childhood together saws
I saw that it was all over, put away in a box like a doll no longer cared for, the magical intimacy of our childhood together
memories play sentimental

girl nice cutting
Girls that aren't cut out for business careers usually wind up married to some nice man.

Like a Cat on a hot tin roof
glasses matter break
Glass breaks so easily. No matter how careful you are.
funny hilarious girl

Val: Why do you go out there? Sandra: Because dead people give such good advice. Val: What advice do they give? Sandra: Just one word- live!
people genius pockets
Since that day, when people have spoken to me of "genius", I have felt the inside pocket to make sure my wallet's still there.

It always came upon me unawares, taking me altogether by surprise. Perhaps it was a familiar bit of music. Perhaps it was only a piece of transparent glass.
moving people menagerie
People go to the movies instead of moving.
differences envy sick
The biggest of all differences in this world is between the ones that had or have pleasure in love and those that haven't and hadn't any pleasure in love, but just watched with sick envy.
