William Maxwell Quotes
And Looking At These Faded Snapshots I See, The Child That Survives In Me Sees With A Pang That - I Am Old Enough To Be That Man's Father, And He Has Been Dead For Nearly Twenty Years, And Yet It Troubles Me That He Was Happy. Why? In Some Way His Happiness Was At That Time (and Forever After, It Would Seem) A Threat To Me. It Was Not The Kind Of Happiness That Children Are Included In, But Why Should That Trouble Me Now? I Do Not Even Begin To Understand It.
