But a quote I really like, it's kind of random, is from Zooey. "You know, I'm the only one in this family who has no problems," Zooey said, "And you know why? Because any time I'm feeling blue, or puzzled, what I do, I just invite a few people to come visit me in the bathroom, and - well, we iron things out together, that's all." I laugh out loud everytime I read this passage in the book. Morgan
