Triumphs of Individuality
Dear Rita Mae
Brown,
I am mid-way
through Riding Shotgun and enjoying it very much. Below are a few lines
I found particularly impactful.
“The sound of
their voices, the cadence of their footfalls, those tiny triumphs of
individuality, how vivid they were in her memory.”
“The past always
seemed clear enough, but now she knew that wasn’t true either. She realized
that when a generation passes, they take with it their breath, their laughter,
the color of their lives like a flag of being.”
“Tiny triumphs of
individuality” and “the color of their lives”, these are poetic.
Also thought
provoking was “Ignorance
demands constant effort.” Indeed.
Write on,
Loraine
