IMPORTANT QUOTATIONS - QUOTES AND ANALYSIS
1. “There was the human body, which was so clearly designed to want
babies--and then there was the human mind, which was so confused about
the matter. Sometimes the mind didn’t want babies, but sometimes the mind
was so perverse that it made other people have babies they knew they didn’t
want.” Pg. 23.
Dr. Larch wonders about the ambiguity of human behavior when it comes
to children. He thinks these lines when he remembers the fear on the faces
of the foster family that made Homer cry when he came to take Homer from
them..........
............. 9. “To orphans, not every truth is wanted.” Pg. 389.
Homer’s rationalizes that sometimes it is better to lie. He thinks this
after he convinces Candy to have their baby and says they can say they
adopted the baby. He would not have blamed Nurses Angela and Edna if they
had lied about remembering his mother.
