To Nurse Edna, who was in love, and to Nurse Angela, who wasn't (but who had in her wisdom named both Homer Wells and Fuzzy Stone), there was no fault to be found in the hearts of either Dr. Stone or Dr. Larch, who were -- if there ever were -- Princes of Maine, Kings of New England.
God, that gives me chills.
Cider House Rules (because I've seen the movie... how sad)

Posted by: Scott Janssens at November 9, 2004 4:52 PMOh that's right, Scott - I forgot he wrote it!
It was a precious book to me... one of those books where I really lost myself in it - Homer Wells, all those people were real to me ... and I didn't want to read the book afterwards and see Tobey Maguire or whatever.
Not that there's anything wrong with Tobey Maguire - I just liked living in my imagination with it.
