Kindle Notes & Highlights
As for the Devil, he seemed to live everywhere in New England.
Some moments return to us, intact and incandescent, undimmed by the passage of time.
“Every fairy tale has a message hidden in it, a moral that you’ll figure out.
Time is a treacherous mistress. In our youth it flows slow and deep; the days stretch out endlessly. When we are children, a summer lasts for a century. As we age, the flow of time speeds up. Suddenly, a year vanishes with the snap of one’s fingers. How quickly time eludes us, how easily it tricks us.
