English 208

 

". . . Poor old human beings--they're jerked into this world without having any idea where they came from or what it is they are supposed to do, or how long they have to do it in.  Or where they are gonna wind up after that.  But bless their hearts, most of them wake up every morning and keep on trying to make sense out of it.  Why, you can't help but love them, can you?  I just wonder why more of them aren't as crazy as bed bugs."  --Aunt Elner in Fannie Flagg's book, Welcome to the World, Baby Girl!
