Sarah Vowell Quotes

But Truth Be Told, I'm Not As Dour-looking As I Would Like. I'm Stuck With This Round, Sweetie-pie Face, Tiny Heart-shaped Lips, The Daintiest Dimples, And Apple Cheeks So Rosy I Appear In A Perpetual Blush. At Five Foot Four, I Barely Squeak By Average Height. And Then There's My Voice: Straight Out Of Second Grade. I Come Across So Young And Innocent And Harmless That I Have Been Carded For Buying Maple Syrup. Tourists Feel More Safe Approaching Me For Directions, Telemarketers Always Ask If My Mother Is Home, And Waitresses Always, Always Call Me 'Hon.
