HAPPINESS, UNHAPPINESS, SKY



“Not that I'm a happy man, nor even an unhappy man,” he'd told her. “But happiness, unhappiness, are too trivial to matter. In such a place you become your own imagining. You feel nothing, or everything. You melt out into the sky.” 
 - MIDDLE AGE by Joyce Carol Oates

    1. Oates' MIDDLE AGE was a pretty good book, Hannah! Lots to love, but it did drag for a while... could be just me. :)

  2. Lovely quote. I imagine you are so excited when you find these quotes that have "sky" in them.
