Jean-Christophe Valtat Quotes
I Didn't Like What That Word-'childhood'-conjured Up, Or Rather, I Didn't Like The Way Most People Use It: That Presumption Of Innocence And Starry-eyed Wonder. The Only Good Thing About Childhood Is That No One Really Remembers It, Or Rather, That's The Only Thing About It To Like: This Forgetting. What Else Could Possibly Lie Beneath That Blissful Oblivion But Shame: A Dark Knowledge Of That Terrible Badge Of Weakness, That Inescapable Servitude (bearable Only Thanks To The Slow Revelation That We Could Inflict Cruelty And Evil On The Weaker Kids), A Sickening Awareness That Just About Everything There Is To Understand Was Beyond Us, Made Even Worse By The Lies And Inaccuracies That Adults Feel Entitled To Spread Around, Deliberately, Or Because They Don't Know Any Better, About Themselves Or About The Nature Of Reality?
