Anne Tyler Quotes
... Like Most Youngest Children, He Had Trouble Remembering His Own Past. The Older Ones Did It So Well For Him, Why Should He Bother? They Had Built Him A Second-hand Memory That Included The Years Before He Existed, Even. He Had A Distinct Memory Of Melissa's Running Away From Home With A Peanut Sandwich And A Pomegranate, Two Years Before He Was Born; But He Himself, With His Locust On A Leash, Had Vanished.
-- Pg 273-74
