Quote #4
"I didn't do it for the money. I did it because the music is better if someone is listening to it." (19.22)
Ain't that the truth? Like Kit-Kats, much of life is better when shared with someone else.
Quote #5
"Thank you most of all for friends. We appreciate the complicated and wonderful gifts you give us in each other." (22.16)
Friendship is complicated. It's like a Rubik's Cube mixed with chess and flavored with Tetris. That's because it involves understanding, forgiving, and sacrificing. Yet it also brings great joy. Whew! We're exhausted just writing about it.
Quote #6
I grabbed Gloria Dump's arm.
"I'm all right," she said. But she put her hand on my arm and held on to me tight. (23.4-5)
Gloria never asks for help, and she is the one who listens and helps Opal, rather than the other way around. But deep down, Gloria needs friendship and help just as much as anyone else does. Opal sees that. She wants to hold tight to both Opal's arm and her friendship.
