William Faulkner

Jealousy we understood and thought natural... But envy was a strange, new feeling for us. And all the time we knew that Maureen Peal was not the Enemy and not worthy of such intense hatred. The Thing to fear was the Thing that made her beautiful, and not us.
Toni Morrison

The books I read are the ones I knew and loved when I was a young man and to which I return as you do to old friends.
