"It had been raining that day from morning to night—the kind of soft, monotonous, misty rain that often falls at that time of year, washing away bit by bit the memories of summer burned into the earth. Coursing down the gutters, all those memories flowed into the sewers and rivers, to be carried to the deep, dark ocean."

"In his midthirties a man either reaches out toward risk and glory or stays within the routines of the expected and ordinary. It is the age when men leave safe homes and jobs and go on voyages, odysseys, perform transforming sacrifices. It is the age when Whitman wrote Leaves of Grass and Columbus started to plan his voyage to the Indies. It is the age at which visionaries become prophets or explorers or inventors, or make fools of themselves trying. Putting behind him his accumulated failures and humiliations, such a man must seize the new prospect and ride with it to greatness or defeat. There is no turning back."
