The Delivery Quotes

“His hands shifted, his weight redistributed (or something like this: and, I could no more narrate all his precise movements, subtle adjustments, flashes of navigational inspiration than he could; in fact, had he even been made aware of such crucial, minute, unconsciously coordinated decisions, even for the briefest instant, he would have fallen right over on his bicycle, or else driven into a tree. All his foremost thoughts were feelings.).”

“No matter how hard he tried, when he considered these facts the delivery boy could not manage to square them (though I find his confusion on this point surprising, I also remind myself that he was still young, and would imagine that a person must, perforce, feel only this way or that, rather than feeling several ways at once).”
