The Bear in the Attic Quotes

“It's been a long, hard day, and bit by bit you have been transformed into a single, vertical, barely ambulatory ache. All that awaits you now is another long, lonely night on the hard, cold ground. "What am I doing out here?" you ask yourself. "I must be mad!" Indeed, you are mad. Otherwise right now you could be warm and cozy and stretched out in front of your beloved TV, munching popcorn and swigging down ice-cold brew, just like a civilized person. "Oh well," you sigh to yourself. "I'd better stop and get a fire going.”

“Dumb guys, I’ve found, generally make the best friends, because they’re so much more interesting and exciting than smart guys, those guys who have the intelligence to recognize such a phenomenon as The Gap for what it is and stay home to tidy up their stamp and coin collections.”
