“He was distracted by a giggle, and turned to see a rare sight: a girl.”
“He who does not know how to encircle a girl so that she loses sight of everything he does not want her to see, he who does not know how to poetize himself into a girl so that it is from her that everything proceeds as he wants it-he is and remains a bungler”
“He turned to face me and his eyes widened. "Are you crying?"He sounded a little panicked, like the sight of a crying girl was scarier than anything that had happened over the past forty-eight hours.”
“It is rare that one can see in a little boy the promise of a man, but one can almost always see in a little girl the threat of a woman.”
“I hate girls that giggle all the time... You hate any girl that David looks at.”
“While sight may deceive you, touch rarely does.”
