From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“... no gentleman lies, on any occasion, with unmixed pleasure. He feels, rather, as if he had put on rags.”
