The Onset of Puberty ala Hemingway

"Do you want some pickles?"
"No."
"No? Who are you? And what have you done with Alex?"
"Maybe he has been transmogrified."
"Maybe I'm going through puberty, and my interests are changing."

"Oh, darling, darling."

ala Faulkner

"Do you want some pickles?"
"No."
"No? Who are you? And what have you done with Alex?"
"A man's future is inherited in that man . . . there is no such thing as was. That time is; and if there is no such thing as was, then there is no such thing as will be. That time is not a fixed condition, time is in a way the combined intelligences of all men who breathe at that moment."
