When it's so good, so right, so funny, so interesting... etc... that you can't resist sharing.

From Alice Munro's Moons of Jupiter, story Turkey Season, set in 1940s smalltown Ontario:

They really seemed to believe--the women did--that it was the penchant for baking or music that was the determining factor, and that it was this activity that made the man what he was--not any other detours he might take, or wish to take. A desire to play the violin would be taken as more a deviation from manliness than would a wish to shun women. Indeed, the idea was that any manly man would wish to shun women but most of them were caught off guard, and for good.


A world of relationships and mentality nailed in two sentences (I mean the last two)!
