Quotes by John Glassco (?)

“The company in bars is, I have noticed, either very good or very bad; there seems to be some force of a minor destiny that draws good company to the same place at the same time.”
― John Glassco, Memoirs of Montparnasse

“...I had often been troubled by the feeling of not belonging in any age-group at all. As a boy whose tastes far outran his years, I was never at home among my contemporaries; on the other hand a certain enthusiasm, even a foolish ebullience of spirit - a kind of irreverance and thoughtless feeling for the superficially absurd - made me quite infit for serious conversation with adult persons for whom life was necessarily a grave business. The truth was, my limitations were great. I did not have the experience of either poverty, thwarted ambition, or unrequited love.”
― John Glassco, Memoirs of Montparnasse
