The quote on page 63 is from Boswell's Life of Dr. Johnson. How does this quote capsulize the influence that Clarisse has had on Montag?

I clearly do not have the same edition of the book as you
do, but I think the quote you are talking about is the one at the beginning of Part II
where Montag reads the line about friendship.


To me, this
shows Clarisse's influence because she gradually kept giving him drops and drops of
friendship.  No one particular thing that she said really made him stand up and
understand what he did not like about their life.  But as she kept on being nice to him
and giving him ideas, she eventually reached the point where her influence ran over and
he understood what she was telling him about their society.
