1 " No one is willing to believe that adults too, like children, wander about this earth in a daze and, like children, do not know where they come from or where they are going, act as rarely as they do according to genuine motives, and are as thoroughly governed as they are by biscuits and cake and the rod. "

― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe , The Sorrows of Young Werther

2 " Uh-oh," Moni sang, and nodded her head in Chantal's direction. " I think someone's a wee bit upset with us." She turned and walked a few steps backward." Careful," I said. " We're not out of range." " Have no fear, Super Brain is here." Moni whipped out her calculator, holding it up like a shield." What are you going to do, daze her with denominators?" " Maybe. But first I'm going to pummel her with my Pythagorean theorem. "

3 " You’re always on time, aren’t you?” I said flirtatiously as he arrived.
“My darling lady, when it’s you … yes I am.” He opened the car door and as I was securely inside, I reached over to unlock his door on the spur of the moment. I thought I shouldn’t tell him I did not want him to feel rejected or abandoned tonight. Still, I couldn’t just postpone my education. Quickly, I hid my concern from his eyes.
They were thirsting to read every thought from my mind that appeared on my face. At the dinner table, I did my best to cover my frustrations, holding normal activities Amillo and I did on dates, every once in a while shifting my eyes away to daze off in thought.

4 " It was still twilight when they reached the flat rock. They sat, and the stone still held the warmth of the day's sun. At first there were only occasional sparkles, but as it got darker Chuck was lost in a daze pf delight as a galaxy of fireflies twinkled on and off, flinging upward in a blaze of light, dropping earthward like falling stars, moving in contiuous effervescent dance. "

― Madeleine L'Engle , A Swiftly Tilting Planet (Time Quintet, #3)

5 " A curse. Been in our family for generations. The Lees have always been perverts. I shall never forget the unspeakable horror that froze the lymph in my glands when the baneful word seared my reeling brain - I was a homosexual. I thought of the painted simpering female impersonators I'd seen in a Baltimore nightclub. Could it be possible I was one of those subhuman things? I walked the streets in a daze like a man with a light concussion. I would've destroyed myself. And a wise old queen - Bobo, we called her - taught me that I had a duty to live and bear my burden proudly for all to see. Poor Bobo came to a sticky end - he was riding in the Duke Devanche's Hispano Suissa when his falling hemorrhoids blew out of the car and wrapped around the rear wheel. He was completely gutted leaving an empty shell sitting there on the giraffe skin upholstry. Even the eyes and the brain went with a horrible " shlupping" sound. The Duke says he would carry that ghastly " shlup" with him to his mausoleum. "

6 " The afternoon and the early evening slide by in a lidded daze where the ability to think in any identifiable way disappears and where every moment seems to be an eternity. "

― James Frey , A Million Little Pieces
