Lorrie Moore Quotes

The Situation Was Not Easy For Her, They Knew. Once, At The Start Of Last Semester, She Had Skipped Into Her Lecture Hall Singing "Getting To Know You" - Both Verses. At The Request Of The Dean The Chairman Had Called Her Into His Office, But Did Not Ask Her For An Explanation, Not Really. He Asked Her How She Was And Then Smiled In An Avuncular Way. She Said, "Fine," And He Studied The Way She Said It, Her Front Teeth Catching On The Inside Of Her Lower Lip. She Was Almost Pretty, But Her Face Showed The Strain And Ambition Of Always Having Been Close But Not Quite.
