“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
Ooh! How's the book? It looks great.
ReplyDeleteOates' MIDDLE AGE was a pretty good book, Hannah! Lots to love, but it did drag for a while... could be just me. :)
DeleteLovely quote. I imagine you are so excited when you find these quotes that have "sky" in them.
