truly thankful for my teachers for introducing and assigning tim o’brien. i still think about those books now, and aspire to own them even though they started out as just a high school assignment.

“‘Peace of mind is not a simple matter of persuing one’s own pleasure; rather, it is inextricably linked to the attitudes of other human beings, to what they want, to what they expect. The real issue is how to find felicity within limits. Within the context of our obligations to other people. We all want peace. We all want dignity and domestic tranquility. But we want these to be honorable and lasting. We want a peace that endures. We want a peace we can be proud of. Even in imagination, we must obey the logic of what we started. Even in imagination we must be true to our obligations, for even in imagination, obligation cannot be outrun. Imagination, like reality, has its limits.’”

“At a small antique store near Invalides they found a bronze-cased clock. It didn’t work, but that was fine. ‘We’re refugees’, [he] said. ‘What does time mean to refugees? We’ll buy a hundred broken clocks.’”

“‘The point is that war is war no matter how it’s perceived. War has its own reality. War kills and maims and rips up the land and makes orphans and widows. These are the things of war. So when I say there is nothing new to tell about Nam, I’m saying it was just a war like every war.’”
