“It’s only with mild surprise I find I don’t so much read anymore, but rather teeter, wonder, take flight, like Pascal, like Madeline, like Bemelmans, like Lamorisse, like my daughters. Like Robert. Like anyone who has ever started or finished a book, or a love affair, or confused the two, in sweet anticipation of the fall.”
― Liam Callanan, Paris by the Book

“The habits of our lives make us presume that things will happen in a certain foreseeable way, that there will be a vague coherence in the world.”
