Paul Auster Quotes
And When She Thinks Of That Generation Of Silent Men, The Boys Who Lived Through The Depression And Grew Up To Become Soldiers Or Not-soldiers In The War, She Doesn't Blame Them For Refusing To Talk, For Not Wanting To Go Back Into The Past, But How Curious It Is, She Thinks, How Sublimely Incoherent That Her Generation, Which Doesn't Have Much Of Anything To Talk About Yet, Has Produced Men Who Never Stop Talking, Men Like Bing, For Example, Or Men Like Jake, Who Talks About Himself At The Slightest Prompting, Who Has An Opinion On Every Subject, Who Spews Forth Words From Morning To Night, But Just Because He Talks, That Doesn't Mean She Wants To Listen To Him, Whereas With The Silent Men, The Old Men, The Ones Who Are Nearly Gone Now, She Would Give Anything To Hear What They Have To Say.
