Paul Bowles Quotes

He Doesn't Know What The World Is Like Today. The Thought That His Own Conception Of The World Was So Different From His Father's Was Like A Protecting Wall Around His Entire Being. When His Father Went Out Into The Street He Had Only The Mosque, The Koran, The Other Old Men In His Mind. It Was The Immutable World Of Law, The Written Word, Unchanging Beneficence, But It Was In Some Way Wrinkled And Dried Up. Whereas When Amar Stepped Out The Door There Was The Whole Vast Earth Waiting, The Live Mysterious Earth, That Belonged To Him In A Way It Could Belong To No One Else, And Where Anything At All Might Happen.
