"You look like a handsome young man…although you might want to zip your fly. Mom! What? Should I have not told you and left it for everyone else to notice at the dance?"
"Instead of agonizing about the things you can't change, why don't you try working on the things you can change"
"Chicks dig a dude who’s sporting the latest eggplant turtleneck styles."
"I’ll probably just stand in a corner, trying not to be noticed, until the decoration committee accidentally packs me into a box at the end of the night. There I will lie, crammed in between rolls of crepe paper, until the New Year’s dance two months from now. Jeffrey thought about this for a moment and said, Won’t they notice the box is too heavy when they go to put it away?"
"But nobody ever tells you in advance when you should concentrate on the good times-that's why you're supposed to do it every day."
