"It isn't the big troubles in life that require character. Anybody can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage, but to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh -- I really think that requires spirit."

I AM SO BUMMED.
I just finished this book, and was all happy.
AND THEN I READ THE "ABOUT THE AUTHOR."
Jean Webster died when she was only 41. Really? That's terrible. How sad. What happened?
Well, she wrote this awesome book. Then she wrote its sequel. Then she got married. Then she had a baby.
AND THEN SHE DIED. THE NEXT DAY.
I am going to be bummed out for the rest of the day. At least.

"It makes me almost hope I'm not a genius; they must be very wearing to have about -- and awfully destructive to the furniture."
I know for a fact I'm very wearing to have about, and our furniture's in terrible shape. So I'm holding out hope for geniushood.

Two words I know I didn't expect in connection with this book: SALINGER CONNECTION!
