Quotation of the Day for July 18, 2011



"What Brantford had expected from life and what it had actually given him must have been so distinct and so dissonant that he probably felt his dignity dropping away little by little until he simply wasn't himself anymore. He didn't seem to be anybody and he had no resources of humility to turn that nothingness into a refuge."

- Charles Baxter, from his story "The Cousins" from the collection Gryphon: New and Selected Stories.
