Gleanings from Readings

"As she hugs him, she leans away from him so as to insert some chaste space between them. As the nuns used to say before school dances, 'Leave room for the Holy Ghost.'" - Christopher Buckley on the Palin-McCain hugs 

"...a specimen of one of those minitaturized breeds that are programmed to tremble helplessly." - from O'Neill's "Netherland"

"Usually the poets were talking about money while the stockbrokers talked about art." - from Hamill's "My Manhattan"
