ADOLESCENCE

'What a....wiring job a man was! How enduring were the circuits stamped into a boy when he was dizzy with hormones and as vulnerable to experience as dry blotting paper to water! Push the right button and you floodlighted him like the temple. Push another and you got the whole son et lumiere.'
Wallace Stegner, Recapitulation, p.26.
