one from percy

I snatched this from Brendan at City Planning. I've yet to read Percy, a New Orleans writer, but this passage is a lure.

"But life goes on and on we go, spinning along the coast in a violet light, past Howard Johnson’s and the motels and the children’s carnival. We pull into a bay and have a drink under the stars. It is not a bad thing to settle for the Little Way, not the big search for the big happiness but the sad little happiness of drinks and kisses, a good little car and a warm deep thigh.”

— Walker Percy “The Moviegoer”
