Contract Quotes
-
The world that seemed so various and new, well, it does contract. One's burning desire to investigate human behavior, and to make, or imply, statements about it, does fall off.

But . . . there's often a freshness that is missing in later works--for every gain there's a loss. I think it evens out in that way.

That's the problem with relationships, It's a contract. You agree to be some unchanging caricature of yourself. To act the same way all the time. Never to change. It's counter-evolutionary.
