Anne Tyler Quotes

Why Did Popular Songs Always Focus On Romantic Love? Why This Preoccupation With First Meetings, Sad Partings, Honeyed Kisses, Heartbreak, When Life Was Also Full Of Children's Births And Trips To The Shore And Longtime Jokes With Friends? Once Maggie Had Seen On TV Where Archaeologists Had Just Unearthed A Fragment Of Music From Who Knows How Many Centuries B.C., And It Was A Boys Lament For A Girl Who Didn't Love Him Back. Then Besides The Songs There Were The Magazine Stories And The Novels And The Movies, Even The Hair-spray Ads And The Pantyhose Ads. It Struck Maggie As Disproportionate. Misleading, In Fact.
