Cusk Parade Quotes

“a situation developed that had no clear beginning or end. It emerged and flowered and receded again over a day or a handful of days. He was old enough now to know that these situations, these flowering, which in youth seem almost identical to the forward-driving story of life, in fact turn out to be life itself. It was in these moments of hope and expectation and disillusion, of prelude, before the will decides to conscript the self into conformity, that they really lived.”
