“She gave me a hard look. "No one likes a wiseass, Harry."
"Are you kidding? As long as the wiseass is talking to someone, people love 'em.”

“Thomas was an annoying wiseass who tended to make everyone he met want to kill him, and when I have that much in common with someone, I can't help but like him a little.”

“She talked to me like I was just like any other student, not a kid in a wheelchair.”

“Marcia: You look lovely. People talk to me about you and I say you're one of the kindest souls I know.”
