I dog-ear too many quotes to run them once a week, and I burn off the excess twice a year on Sundays near major holidays. It's that time again. I'm not going to try to link to older quote-batches this time; you can use the tag and go backward, if you want.
He had married on the rebound from the rotten time he had in college, and Frances took him on the rebound from his discovery that he had not been everything to his first wife. He was not in love yet but he realized that he was an attractive quantity to women, and that the fact of a woman caring for him and wanting to live with him was not simply a divine miracle. This changed him so that he was not so pleasant to have around.
- Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises, p.16
