nice two freak
We’re freaks, that’s all. Those two bastards got us nice and early and made us into freaks with freakish standards, that’s all. We’re the tattooed lady, and we’re never going to have a minute’s peace, the rest of our lives, until everybody else is tattooed, too.
morning mistake nice
Zooey said... It would be very nice to come home and be in the wrong house. To eat dinner with the wrong people by mistake, sleep in the wrong bed by mistake, and kiss everybody good-bye in the morning thinking they were your own family.
nice mean world
There are nice things in the world - and I mean nice things. We're all such morons to get so sidetracked.
nice excited holden-caulfield
I like it when somebody gets excited about something. It's nice.
nice memorable thinking
What I think is, you're supposed to leave somebody alone if he's at least being interesting and he's getting all excited about something. I like it when somebody gets excited about something. It's nice.
nice rain world
It always smelled like it was raining outside, even if it wasn't, and you were in the only nice, dry, cosy place in the world.
nice needs reason
I don't really deeply feel that anyone needs an airtight reason for quoting from the works of the writers he loves, but it's always nice, I'll grant you, if he has one.
nice fifth-avenue parks
She's quite skinny, like me, but nice skinny. Roller-skate skinny. I watched her once from the window when she was crossing over Fifth Avenue to go to the park, and that's what she is, roller-skate skinny. You'd like her.
uncles father nice
It's nice when somebody tells you about their uncle. Especially when they start out telling you about their father's farm and then all of a sudden get more interested in their uncle.
nice peaceful trouble
That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any.
fed lousy mean scared unless
Did you ever get fed up? I said. “I mean did you ever get scared that everything was going to go lousy unless you did something?
Yes. That's it. That's the document. Where did you get it?
hell instead saying
Why the hell don'tcha, instead of keep saying it?
funny memorable missing
Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.
