Dorothy Quote #911

Quote from Dorothy in Sisters and Other Strangers

Magda: Too many books. Too many contradictory opinions next to each other. This leads to anarchy.
Dorothy: These books represent different ideas.
Magda: Dorothy, what's going to happen now there is freedom? The people in my country are going to read all these books and be confused. No, the way things were, we knew what to do. The choices were easy. When there is one road, no one gets lost.
Rose: Not necessarily. Back in St. Olaf, there-
Dorothy: Rose. Is this a story about getting lost?
Rose: Uh-huh.
Dorothy: Well, don't tell us. Show us.

Quote from Sophia

Sophia: I don't see Blanche.
Rose: Oh, she said she'd be over right after her hair appointment. She wanted to look her best for Charmaine's big day.
Dorothy: Well, Blanche is handling this a lot better than I would. I would kill Gloria if she ever wrote about my sexual escapades.
Sophia: You'd kill your sister over a pamphlet?

Quote from Sophia

Magda: Ladies, ladies, I have very bad news. I must shorten my stay, Dorothy. In fact, I'm leaving tomorrow.
Sophia: Dorothy, move the coffee table. I wanna do a cartwheel.

Quote from Rose

Rose: There was a time in my life when I wanted to leave St. Olaf. I just didn't feel it was big enough for me. I had my eye on the Great White Way. So I went to St. Gustav, the city that never naps. That first night I walked around in amazement. They had their own Fotomat! Of course, it wasn't as large as the Fotomats you see today. Now, here's the scary part. Suddenly, I realized I was this frightened little girl alone in the big city.
Dorothy: Accident, my foot!
Rose: It started to rain, and I stood there in the middle of the town square and cried.
Sophia: Gloria was the one who had to get the rabies shot.
Dorothy: I was a biter.
Rose: There I was, drenched, and someone yelled out: "Hey! Don't you have enough sense to come in out of the rain?" Well, then it hit me. And when I went home to St. Olaf, I passed on this bit of street-smart savvy. The next thing you know, in St. Olaf the in thing was coming in out of the rain. I was the town celebrity. Until the phrase "Watch out for that tractor" caught on.
Blanche: What in hell does this have to do with sisters?
Rose: Didn't I mention? St. Olaf and St. Gustav were sister cities.
