David Malouf Quotes

In Time, Most Children Stop Being Puzzled In This Way. They Settle In. The World Around Them, As It Becomes Familiar And Daily, Becomes Ordinary. But For Writers, Like Children Who Have Never Quite Grown Up, Life Retains A Quality Of Strangeness; It Remains A Matter Of Questions For Which There Are No Satisfactory Answers, Of Hidden Motives, Displaced Explanations, Subtle Concealments And Mysteries. Eavesdropping Of One Kind Or Another, Keeping An Eye Open And An Ear Cocked, Even In Public Places, For The Giveaway Facial Expression Or Gesture, The Revealing Word, Becomes A Settled Habit For The Writer, A Necessary Part Of His Professional Equipment: The Laying Down Of Small Scraps Of Information, Of Observation Or Experience, For Future Use.
