Returning from clubbing at 6:30am, lmv? I'd like to sigh wistfully and say, "Ah, those were the days!" But I never had that much stamina.

And Maeve - I'm not familiar with Ms. McCullers, but did find a quote or two from her. Lettuce compare your Unwell-Salad-Days-from-the-Bad-Cafe household with mine, (it's a wonder my sanity romaines intact). LOL!! Brava!! McCullers' has 2 must-reads: The Ballad of the Sad Cafe and The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. I think dear Carson must be the love child of William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor.

"X:WP is the human joke on God. You see, God says to humans, 'I've created a universe where it seems like everything matters, where you will have to grapple with life and death and in the end you'll die anyway, and it really won't matter.' So humans say to God, 'Oh, yeah? Within your universe we've created a sub-universe called xenaverse, one that absolutely doesn't matter, and we'll follow everything that happens in it as if it were life and death.'"
S. Kellerman, as almost destroyed by me.

I wonder if Jane intended to write with as much sarcasm as I read into it. Or is it the span of time and different attitudes between then and now that makes her wit seem so sharp?

Maeve, sorry for doling out such punishment; bad, but it's never killed anyone, (to my knowledge). In keeping with the hellish theme of the last few quotes here, perhaps my posts should come with a warning label....

I like that. Makes me think there's a bit of hero in us all, when we're going farther than we think we can.
