Lindy Lee’s Reviews > Life and Fate > Status Update

"There is nothing more difficult than to be a stepson of the time; there is no heavier fate than to live in an age that is not your own............. Time loves only those it has given birth to itself: its own children, its own heroes, its own labourers. Never can it come to love the children of a past age, any more than a woman can love the heroes of a past age, or a stepmother love the children of another woman."

Page 43 is only 4 percent of the book. And it took me a few days just to get to this point. Oy!
