John Darnielle Quote: “It’s hard to describe, this feeling of seeing your kids spending time together like adults, meeting up again after being out there in the world like free agents.

John Darnielle Quote: “Still, picture the noble snake, having molted, slithering away, newly glistening. There’s the skin, in a big disorganized pile behind it. Is the snake asking you to notice that a snake was here earlier? No; the snake doesn’t care one way or the other. It has moved on. No, indeed, you can’t call a snake sloppy or careless or fault it for leaving tracks in its wake. Besides, who are you? Snakes have been here for millions of years.”

John Darnielle Quote: “I remember before I finally fell asleep feeling like there wasn’t all that much to say about my life. I’d had several satisfying relationships, they hadn’t amounted to much. I’d gotten better at my work and been rewarded for it, but I sometimes felt like life had run out of surprises for me. I did what I did and got the results I expected. I kept up my practice and it paid my way. My wheels made an agreeable noise when they spun.”
