Cardboard Gods Quotes

“But even in this card, as in all cards: transience. The faces in the crowd — faces that will watch the every move of the lordly All-Star in the foreground — have been blurred to something like Monet’s lily pads, those hypnotic omens of the inevitable dusk into which we’ll all dissolve. All names, even those of the greatest among us, will eventually unravel to silence.”
― Josh Wilker, Cardboard Gods: An All-American Tale Told Through Baseball Cards
