Tim O'Brien Quotes

In Any War Story, But Especially A True One, It's Difficult To Separate What Happened From What Seemed To Happen. What Seems To Happen Becomes Its Own Happening And Has To Be Told That Way. The Angles Of Vision Are Skewed. When A Booby Trap Explodes, You Close Your Eyes And Duck And Float Outside Yourself.. The Pictures Get Jumbled, You Tend To Miss A Lot. And Then Afterward, When You Go To Tell About It, There Is Always That Surreal Seemingness, Which Makes The Story Seem Untrue, But Which In Fact Represents The Hard And Exact Truth As It Seemed.
