"It just so happened that for most of my life I've lived in the suburbs."

--

Tom Perrotta

“I find that when I've seen a certain number of people my mind becomes like an old match box -- the part one strikes on, I mean.”
“Last year, I was sort of a kid and I was a little scared, I ain't scared any more.”
“Whatever enjoyment I might have had at the time would disappear overnight like snow melting on a warm roof.”
“Yugoslavia is, with Iran, the only country which under difficult, not to say agonising, circumstances stood up to Joseph Stalin. It was not easy to unite ethnic groups or to modernize a country like Yugoslavia, and it must be acknowledged that Marshal Tito achieved something extraordinary. May God grant that his successors be as capable as he.”
“...the initial position is decisive Zugzwang.”
“The next time we met was at Appomattox, and the first thing that General Grant said to me when we stepped inside, placing his hand in mine was, Pete, let us have another game of brag, to recall the days that were so pleasant. Great God! I thought to myself, how my heart swells out to such magnanimous touch of humanity. Why do men fight who were born to be brothers?”

“I think the secret of my light, quick, foot strike is related to the fact that I have fragile feet.”
“I have always directed my attempts at the figurative representation of objects by way of summary and not very descriptive brushstrokes, diverging greatly from the real objective measurements of things, and this has led many people to talk about childish drawing.. ..this position of seeing them (the objects, fh) without looking at them too much, without focussing more attention on them than any ordinary man would in normal everyday life..”
