Richard Flanagan Quotes

It Did Not Fit With The New Age Of Conformity That Was Coming In All Things, Even Emotions, And It Baffled Him How People Now Touched Each Other Excessively And Talked About Their Problems As Though Naming Life In Some Way Described Its Mystery Or Denied Its Chaos. He Felt The Withering Of Something, The Way Risk Was Increasingly Evaluated And, As Much As Possible, Eliminated, Replaced With A Bland New World Where The Viewing Of Food Preparation Would Be Felt To Be More Moving Than The Reading Of Poetry; Where Excitement Would Come From Paying For A Soup Made Out Of Foraged Grass.
