Quotes by Padgett Powell (?)

“If the observation were made to you that "Strangers become intimate, and as intimacy grows they lower their guards and less mind their manners until errors are made, which decreases intimacy until estrangement exceeds that which existed before the strangers ever met," would you be inclined to agree?”
― Padgett Powell, The Interrogative Mood

“Life is a sandwich of activity between two periods of bed-wetting,”

“The main thing is: Don't take any shit.
That's the main thing.
The unmain thing is: You are not going to figure anything out except how to get other people to take shit, so forget about everything except not taking any yourself.”
― Padgett Powell, Typical: Stories
