Anne Tyler Quotes

He Had Developed A System That Enabled Him To Sleep In Clean Sheets Every Night Without The Trouble Of Bed Changing. He'd Been Proposing The System To Sarah For Years, But She Was So Set In Her Ways.

He Thought Of This Invention As A Macon Leary Body Bag. A Body Bag Required No Tucking In, Was Unmussable, Easily Changeable, And The Perfect Weight For Summer Nights.
