“...kids marked by the special thinness that one has only once, the transparent thinness of early maturity, when, without knowing it, you are immortal. And completely permeable. When you can walk indifferently down the street with a lover because you have become that lover. Two small people without dislike of suspicion.”

“And as always, it is surprisingly small, as the voice of the conscience is said to be.”
Andrea Lee
“...which recall(s) a moment in time when raw excess made them a casual aristocracy, apart from the rest of the world.”
