Once I climbed into a mountain lion’s cage and she bounded at me and put her paw on my face, but she kept her claws withdrawn (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
There were periods during my childhood when I stammered so badly I couldn’t talk at all (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
If a person sings quietly to himself on the street people smile with approval; but if he talks it’s not alright; they think he’s crazy. The singer is presumed to be happy and the talker unhappy (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
City people try to buy time as a rule, when they can, whereas country people are prepared to kill time, although both try to cherish in their mind’s eye the notion of a better life ahead (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
There often seems to be a playfulness to wise people, as if either their equanimity has as its source this playfulness or the playfulness flows from equanimity; and they can persuade other people who are in a state of agitation to calm down and smile (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
It’s incongruous that the older we get, the more likely we are to turn in the direction of religion. Less vivid and intense ourselves, closer to the grave, we begin to conceive of ourselves as immortal (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
There aren’t many irritations to match the condescension which a woman metes out to a man who she believes has loved her vainly for the past umpteen years (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
Many divorces are not really the result of irreparable injury but involve, instead, a desire on the part of the man or woman to shatter the setup, start out from scratch alone, and make life work for them all over again.

Country people tend to consider that they have a corner on righteousness and to distrust most manifestations of cleverness, while people in the city are leery of righteousness but ascribe to themselves all manner of cleverness (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
Animals used to provide a lowlife way to kill and get away with it, as they do still, but, more intriguingly, for some people they are an aperture through which wounds drain. The scapegoat of olden times, driven off for the bystanders sins, has become a tender thing, a running injury. There, running away is me: hurt it and you are hurting me (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
The novelist screws up his courage in order to invest another two or three years in another attempt to float a boat of original design upon an invented ocean (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
True solitude is a din of birdsong, seething leaves, whirling colors, or a clamor of tracks in the snow (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
Men greet each other with a sock on the arm, women with a hug, and the hug wears better in the long run (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
Country people do not behave as if they think life is short; they live on the principle that it is long, and savor variations of the kind best appreciated if most days are the same (Edward Hoagland Quotes)
