It's Annie and me they're all sitting around here like cardboard people judging It's Annie and me. And what we did that they think is wrong, when you pare it all down, was fall in love.
Nancy Garden
Liza-don't let it make any difference. It won't, will it? With us, I mean. Of course it won't, I told her. But I was wrong. Six months of not writing-that's a difference. And so I lied to Annie. On top of everything else, I lied to Annie, too.
Nancy Garden

Nancy Garden
Ugh! Young girls, they should laugh. Life's bad enough when you're grown, you might as well laugh when you're young.
Nancy Garden
Don't let ignorance win. Let love.
Nancy Garden
