Robertson Davies Quotes

Can I Be A Modern Girl, If I Acknowledge Such Thoughts? I Must Be Modern; I Live Now. But Like Everybody Else, As Hollier Says, I Live In A Muddle Of Eras, And Some Of My Ideas Belong To Today, And Some To An Ancient Past, And Some To Periods Of Time That Seem More Relevant To My Parents Than To Me. If I Could Sort Them And Control Them I Might Know Better Where I Stand, But When I Most Want To Be Contemporary The Past Keeps Pushing In, And When I Long For The Past (like When I Wish Tadeusz Had Not Died, And Were With Me Now To Guide And Explain And Help Me To Find Where I Belong In Life) The Present Cannot Be Pushed Away. When I Hear Girls I Know Longing To Be What They Call Liberated, And When I Hear Others Rejoicing In What They Think Of As Liberation, I Feel A Fool, Because I Simply Do Not Know Where I Stand.
