1 " We are not going to die." Butters stared up at me, pale, his eyes terrified. " We're not?" " No. And do you know why?" He shook his head. " Because Thomas is too pretty to die. And because I'm too stubborn to die." I hauled on the shirt even harder. " And most of all because tomorrow is Oktoberfest, Butters, and polka will never die. "
2 " Megan stepping back let her glance switch from Alma to Isabel and return to Alma. No doubt about it, thought Megan. Created as much alike as any sisters ever had been, their resemblance started with their matching red-and-white polka dot blouses. Since she was a young girl, she had matched their eye colors to their different personalities. "

3 " The cute little fish had big eyes and a rounded body with black polka dots and fins on either side of him that fluttered like hummingbird wings." He's staring at me." " He knows a beautiful thing when he sees it. "
4 " Like all of my important memories, it has a potency that has influenced the pocket of time that holds it, so I can remember that particular Saturday afternoon, even though in many ways it was no different from any other. I can remember, for example, what van der Glick was wearing as she stepped out of the elevator, which was a dress covered with clownish polka dots. Rainie would make these heartbreaking stabs at femininity; indeed, she still does. It's not that she doesn't possess a woman's body now, and didn't posses a girl's body then. But clothes never seemed to fit her correctly, and the more girlish they were, the worse they would hang. "

6 " one day my best friend said to me 'Jess, you rock a lot of polka dots' and that was the deal breaker, now we're mortal enemies "

7 " Polka dots can't stay alone. When we obliterate nature and our bodies with polka dots, we become part of the unity of our environments. "
8 " I remember seeing a movie with Jose Ferrer and Rosemary Clooney where they were husband and wife, and they got in bed, and he had on polka-dot pajamas and she had on striped pajamas, and when they got up the next morning he had on the striped pajamas and she had the polka dot pajamas, and that was considered racy at that time! "
9 " With just one polka dot, nothing can be achieved. In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth, and hundreds of millions of stars. All of us live in the unfathomable mystery and infinitude of the universe. Pursuing 'philosophy of the universe' through art under such circumstances has led me to what I call 'stereotypical repetition.' "
