A Relative Stranger Quotes

“You're like men. You're a man and you're like them. You want to be everything. You want to have endless endless potential. But then you grow up. And you're one thing. Your body is, anyway. It's trapped in this life. You have to say goodbye to the dreams of everything... You want to be an astronaut and a Don Juan and Elvis and Einstein...you want to be all those people. You want to be a whole roomful of people, Saul. That's kid stuff.”
― Charles Baxter, A Relative Stranger: Stories
