I mean if a guy doesn’t respect women’s rights he probably doesn’t inspire acts of sexual greatness on their parts.

favorite passage: F&Z, page 26
Franny: I'm sorry. It isn't just Wally Campbell. I'm just picking on him because you mentioned him. And because he just looks like somebody that spent the summer in Italy or someplace.
Lane: He was in France last summer, for your information. I know what you mean, but you're being so goddamn un—
Franny: All right. France. It isn't just Wally. It could be a girl, for goodness' sake. I mean, if he were a girl — somebody in my dorm, for example — he'd have been painting scenery in some stock company all summer. Or bicycled through Wales. Or taken an apartment in New York and worked for a magazine or an advertising company. It's everybody, I mean. Everything everybody does is so — I don't know — not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless and — sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you're conforming just as much as everybody else, only in a different way. I feel so funny. I think I'm going crazy. Maybe I'm already crazy.
