“those were different times.”
“It had occurred to Pecola some time ago that if her eyes, those eyes that held the pictures, and knew the sights—if those eyes of hers were different, that is to say, beautiful, she herself would be different.”
“There must be those who differ. If there were no unorthodox thought there would be no thought at all”
“Never follow or trust those who change their mind and behave differently every time.”
“If this were a different time, a different place, I would take you to bed with me and make love to you for days.”
“Those were big years, big times.”
