Philip Roth Quotes

Within Five Minutes Of Leaving The Reunion, I'd Undone The Double Wrapping And Eaten All Six Rugelach, Each A Snail Of Sugar-dusted Pastry Dough, The Cinnamon-lined Chambers Microscopically Studded With Midget Raisins And Chopped Walnuts. By Rapidly Devouring Mouthful After Mouthful Of These Crumbs Whose Floury Richness - Blended Of Butter And Sour Cream And Vanilla And Cream Cheese And Egg Yolk And Sugar - I'd Loved Since Childhood, Perhaps I'd Find Vanishing From Nathan What, According To Proust, Vanished From Marcel The Instant He Recognized "the Savour Of The Little Madeleine": The Apprehensiveness Of Death. "A Mere Taste," Proust Writes, And "the Word 'death' ... [has] ... No Meaning For Him." So, Greedily I Ate, Gluttonously, Refusing To Curtail For A Moment This Wolfish Intake Of Saturated Fat, But, In The End, Having Nothing Like Marcel's Luck.
