Philip Roth

“They are crying intensely, the dependable father whose center is the source of all order, who could not overlook or sanction the smallest sign of chaos - for whom keeping chaos far at bay had been intuition's chosen path to certainty, the rigorous daily given of life - and the daughter who is chaos itself.”

Philip Roth, American Pastoral
