About This Quote

The conversation was like the sort one has in dreams—mad but interesting. The conversation was the sort one has in dreams–mad, but interesting. It was an exchange of ideas, of impressions, thoughts, and feelings. It was like that dream conversation that starts out brilliantly and then grows more and more mad as it proceeds (except that this wasn’t a dream; it was a real conversation).

It was like that dream conversation you had late at night with an old friend who had gone off to fight for your country or who had just returned from doing so. You could talk about anything under the sun except what you were talking about.
