Andre Dubus Quotes
When Jennifer Was Here In The Summer, They Were At The House Most Days. I Would Say Generally That As They Got Older They Became Quieter, And Though I Enjoyed Both, I Sometimes Missed The Giggles And Shouts. The Quiet Voices, Just Low Enough For Me Not To Hear From Wherever I Was, Rising And Failing In Proportion To My Distance From Them, Frightened Me. Not That I Believed They Were Planning Or Recounting Anything Really Wicked, But There Was A Female Seriousness About Them, And It Was Secretive, And Of Course I Thought: Love, Sex. But It Was More Than That: It Was Womanhood They Were Entering, The Deep Forest Of It, And No Matter How Many Women And Men Too Are Saying These Days That There Is Little Difference Between Us, The Truth Is That Men Find Their Way Into That Forest Only On Clearly Marked Trails, While Women Move About In It Like Birds. So Hearing Jennifer And Her Friends Talking So Quietly, Yet Intensely, I Wanted Very Much To Have A Wife.
