“The years between thirty-five and sixty-five revolve before the passive mind as one unexplained, confusing merry-go-round. True, they are a merry-go-round of ill-gaited and wind-broken horses, painted first in pastel colors, then in dull grays and browns, but perplexing and intolerably dizzy the thing is, as never were the merry-go-rounds of childhood or adolescence; as never, surely, were the certain-coursed, dynamic roller-coasters of youth. For most men and women these thirty years are taken up with a gradual withdrawal from life.” MenYearsMindFirstsCertainTakenFiveChildhoodYouthColorWindBrokenMen And WomenHorseRoundsIllThirtyDullSixtyPassiveAdolescenceConfusingMerryThirty YearsWithdrawalRoller CoasterCoastersDizzyUnexplainedMerry Go RoundPastel Book:The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories Source: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Other Jazz Age Stories

“When people say to me, 'Why are you so good at writing at women?' I say, 'Why isn't everybody?' Obviously there are differences between men and women - that's what makes it all fun. But we're all people. There's a lot of good writers who are very humanist, but still manage to kind of skip fifty-five per cent of the race. And I just don't get that. Not to be able to write an entire gender? To me, the question isn't how do you do it?
