“People don't get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter you don't stop pulling the wings of flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it.”
-This passage really stood out to me because Carrie kind of opens up and gets emotional. I can just hear a very distraught young girl saying it, I think that's why I couldn't get it out of my mind.
“They had become a fixed star in the shifting firmament of the high school's relationships, the acknowledged Romeo and Juliet. And she knew with sudden hatefulness that there was one couple like them in every white suburban high school in America.”
-Every school has a premadonna teenage girl that thinks she's better than very one else.
“She did not know if her gift came from the lord of light or of darkness, and now, finally finding that she didn't care which, she wad overcome with almost indescribable relief, as if a huge weight, long carried, had slipped from her shoulders.”
-When something good happens to us, or something benefitting us, we tend to not question it because whatever seems to be too good to be true usually is. So we ignore it.
