Reason

Quote_1.png
John Irving

Quote_1.png
John Irving

Quote_1.png
John Irving

At. St. Cloud's, criticism was plainer-and harder, if not impossible, to conceal."

"Life is serious but art is fun!"

Playfulness

John Irving
"What do Americans know about morality? They don't want their presidents to have penises but they don't mind if their presidents covertly arrange to support the Nicaraguan rebel forces after Congress has restricted such aid, they don't want their presidents to deceive their wives but they don't mind if their presidents deceive Congress-lie to the people and violate the people's constitution!"

Hypocrisy

John Irving
"All I say is: Let us leave les folles alone, let's just leave them be. Don't judge them. You are not superior to them - don't put them down."
