Rachel Cusk Quotes

But In A Way It's Like Looking At Old Photographs Of Yourself. There Comes A Point At Which The Record Needs To Be Updated, Because You've Shed Too Many Links With What You Were. He Doesn't Quite Know How It Happened; All He Knows Is That He Doesn't Recognize Himself In Those Stories Any More, Though He Remembers The Bursting Feeling Of Writing Them, Something In Himself Massing And Pushing Irresistibly To Be Born. He Hasn't Had That Feeling Since; He Almost Thinks That To Remain A Writer He'd Have To Become One All Over Again, When He Might Just Easily Become An Astronaut, Or A Farmer. It's As If He Can't Quite Remember What Drove Him Into Words In The First Place, All Those Years Before, Yet Words Are What He Still Deals In. I Suppose It's A Bit Like Marriage, He Said. You Build A Whole Structure On A Period Of Intensity That's Never Repeated. It's The Basis Of Your Faith And Sometimes You Doubt It, But You Never Renounce It Because Too Much Of Your Life Stands On That Ground.
