“Let me tell you something you probably already know. It's that second cord that should remain in the neck of the bottle. You can liberate 1, but two bottles of wine for 2 people is 1 bottle too many.

“I have always thought that librarians are a little bit like doctors, travel agents and professors all rolled into one.

Dorothea Benton Frank, Isle of Palms“We were an imperfect family. I knew that. But at last we were on each other's side, dug in with a new and more profound commitment. Our happiness was hard won, it was ours and I was determined to keep us whole.”
Dorothea Benton Frank, The Hurricane Sisters“All I can tell you is that every family on the planet is dysfunctional and we celebrate occasions as generously as we know how to do. We are all doing our best to appear grateful to have one another. Weren't appearances worth something?”
