John Updike Quotes
Ken Appeared, Was Taller Than She, Wanted Her, Was Acceptable And Accepted On All Sides; Similarly, Nagging Mathematical Problems Abruptly Crack Open. Foxy Could Find No Fault With Him, And This Challenged Her, Touched Off Her Stubborn Defiant Streak. She Felt Between His Handsomeness And Intelligence A Contradiction That Might Develop Into The Convoluted Humour Of Her Jew. Ken Looked Lika A Rich Boy And Worked Like A Poor One. From Farmington, He Was The Only Son Of A Hartford Laywer Who Never Lost A Case. Foxy Came To Imagine His Birth As Cool And Painless, Without A Tear Or Outcry. Nothing Puzzled Him. There Were Unknowns, But No Mysteries. ( ... ) He Was Better-looking, Better-thinking, A Better Machine.
