Lydia Davis Quotes

One Important Thing Was Not To Forget What He Hoped To Achieve In Life. Another Important Thing Was Not To Confuse A Romantic Picture Of Himself - As A Doctor In Africa, For Example - With A Real Possibility. And He Tried Not To Lose Sight Of The Fact That He Was An Adult In An Adult World, With Responsibilities. This Was Not Easy: He Would Find Himself Sitting In The Sun Cutting Out Paper Stars For A Christmas Tree At The Very Moment Other Men Were Working To Support Large Families Or Representing Their Countries In Foreign Places. When In Moments Of Difficult Truth-seeking He Saw This Incongruity, He Felt Sick That He Should Be Saddled With Himself, As Though He Were His Own Unwanted Guest.
