Once, when he had been in the luncheonette, they had talked about baseball, and now, each time Quinn came in, they continued to talk about it.

Homesickness is a real sickness- the ache of the uprooted plant.

Other wants assert themselves, other desires make themselves felt, and bit by bit you discover that you're right back where you started.
