Lorrie Moore Quotes

This Was What Dennis Had Been Doing Lately: Granting Everyone Permission To Feel The Way They Were Going To Feel Regardless. It Was The Books. Dennis's Relationship To His Own Feelings Had Become Tender, Curatorial. Dismantling. Entomological. Mave Couldn't Be Like That. She Treated Her Emotional Life The Way She Treated Her Car: She Let It Go, Let It Tough It Out. To Friends She Said Things Like "I Know You're Thinking This Looks Like A '79, But It's Really An '87." She Finally Didn't Care To Understand All That Much About Her Emotional Life; She Just Went Ahead And Did It. The Point, She Thought, Was To Attend The Meager Theater Of It, Quietly, And Not Stand Up In The Middle And Shout, "Oh, My God, You Can See The Crew Backstage!" There Was A Point At Which The Study Of Something Became A Frightening And Naive Thing.
