John Cheever Quotes

These Stories At Times To Be Stories Of A Long-lost World When The City Of New York Was Still Filled With A River Light, When You Heard Benny Goodman Quartets From A Radio In The Corner Stationary Store, When Almost Everybody Wore A Hat. Here Is The Last Of That Generation Of Chain Smokers Who Woke To The World In The Morning With Their Coughing, Who Used To Get Stoned At Cocktail Parties And Perform Obsolete Dance Steps Like 'the Cleveland Chicken,' Sail For Europe On Ships, Who Were Nostalgic For Love And Happiness, And Whose Gods Were As Ancient As Yours And Mine, Whoever You Are.
