Citas de Carrie

High school isn't a very important place. When you're going you think it's a big deal, but when it's over nobody really thinks it was great unless they're beered up.
People don't get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter you don't stop pulling the wings off flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it.
But sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. [...] True sorrow is as rare as true love.
Sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. It's what you say when you spill a cup of coffee or throw a gutter ball when you're bowling with the girls in the league. True sorrow is as rare as true love.

She did not know if her gift came from the lord of light or of darkness, and now, finally finding that she didn't care which, she wad overcome with almost indescribable relief, as if a huge weight, long carried, had slipped from her shoulders.
But hardly anybody ever finds out that their actions really, actually, hurt other people! People don’t get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter you don’t stop pulling the wings off flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it.
They were still all beautiful and there was still enchantment and wonder, but she had crossed a line and now the fairy tale was green with corruption and evil.
And suddenly it didn't seem to matter any more, nothing would matter if she could turn over, turn over and see the stars, turn over and look once and die.
The low bird is not picked tenderly out of the dust by its fellows; rather, it is dispatched quickly and without mercy.
They were trying to run, trying to hide. But the rock would not hide them; the dead tree gave no shelter.
...they came to see what happened to their town, to see if it was indeed lying burnt and bleeding. Many of them also came to die.
The over-all impression is one of a town that is waiting to die. It is not enough, these days, to say that Chamberlain will never be the same. It may be closer to the truth to say that Chamberlain will simply never again be.
They are surprised that he did it, though, which shows you that the male mind expects very little in the way of altruism from it's fellows.
Sorry is the KoolAid of human emotions.
