Steinbeck
"When I was very young and the urge to be someplace else was on me, I was assured maturity would cure this itch. When years described me as mature, the remedy prescribed was middle age. In middle age I was assured that greater age would calm my fever and now that I am fifty-eight perhaps senility will do the job."
I hunted for a worthwhile book far and wide, high and low, among bestsellers in book stores, from promising friends.. and finally found one that had somehow escaped notice for a few years, tucked away in the good old family bookcase. Opened the book.. yellow pages and all; and found mom's ink scrawl - Divine book 1983.
