Wallace Stegner Quotes
The Light Over The Whole Hill Was Pure, Pale, Of An Exaggerated Clarity, As If All The Good Days Of His Youth Had Been Distilled Down Into This One Day, And The Whole Coltish Ascendant Time When He Was 18, 19, 20, Had Been Handed Back To Him Briefly, Intact And Precious. That Was The Time When There Had Been More Hours In The Day, And Every Hour Precious Enough So That It Could Be Fooled Away. By The Time A Man Got Into The High 30s, The Hours Became More Frantic And Less Precious, More Needed And More Carefully Hoarded And More Fully Used, But Less Loved And Less Enjoyed. -Beyond The Glass Mountain (short Story)
