I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.

Summary

This quote humorously expresses a personal reason for not attending church. The speaker finds kneeling during religious rituals uncomfortable because it causes their nylons (a type of hosiery) to get baggy or misshapen. It presents a lighthearted perspective on attendance at religious services, suggesting that a practical inconvenience can sometimes be a factor in one's decision to skip such events.

In every way that counted, I was dead. Inside somewhere maybe I was screaming and weeping and howling like an animal, but that was another person deep inside, another person who had no access to the lips and face and mouth and head, so on the surface I just shrugged and smile and kept moving. If I could have physically passed away, just let it all go, like that, without doing anything, stepped out of life as easily as walking through a door I would have done. But I was going to sleep at night and waking in the morning, disappointed to be there and resigned to existence.
