“Don't you know, you idiot, that that is what every fool of a woman says about her child?Miss Bulstrode's thoughts.”

“D.B. asked me what I thought about all this stuff I just finished telling you about. I didn't know what the hell to say. If you want to know the truth, I don't know what I think about it. I'm sorry I told so many people about it. All I know about it is, I sort of miss everybody I told about. Even old Stradlater and Ackley, for instance. I think I even miss that goddam Maurice. It's funny. Don't ever tell anybody anything. If you do, you start missing everybody.”

“He may look like an idiot and talk like an idiot but don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot.”

“You may be an idiot but I don't think you're a fool.”

“I'm an idiot like you said, so whatever you say about me doesn't matter, but you know... Don't you dare point a gun at your own brother!”

“what you don't know, you don't miss”
