Penny for her thoughts..

Some of her notable quotes

Ever consider what they must think of us? I mean,
here we come back from a grocery store with the most
amazing haul-chicken, pork, half a cow . They must think
we're the greatest hunters on earth! -Anne Tyler
 
 
I've always thought a hotel ought to offer
optional small animals. . . . I mean a cat to sleep on your bed at night, or a dog of some kind to act pleased when you come in. You ever notice how a hotel room feels so lifeless? Anne Tyler (1941 - ____)
US novelist, short-story writer
 
"There was no such thing on this earth as real
change. You could change husbands, but not the situation.
You could change who, but not what. We're all just
spinning here, she thought, and she pictured the world as
a little blue teacup, revolving like those rides at
Kiddie Land where everyone is pinned to his place by
centrifugal force."--Anne Tyler(topic:change)
