Jonathan Franzen Quotes
It Offended His Sense Of Proportion And Economy To Throw Away A Ninety-percent Serviceable String Of Lights. It Offended His Sense Of Himself, Because He Was An Individual From An Age Of Individuals, And A String Of Lights Was, Like Him, An Individual Thing. No Matter How Little The Thing Had Cost, To Throw It Away Was To Deny Its Value And, By Extension, The Value Of Individuals Generally: To Willfully Designate As Trash An Object That You Knew Wasn't Trash.
