Jeffrey Eugenides Maze Quotations

no reason to mention my peculiarities, my wandering in the maze these many years, shut away from sight. and from love, too.

The Pulitzer isn't a physical object. You can't hold it in your hand. You get some money ($7,500 in my day), and you get a little Tiffany's paperweight with your name on it and the image of Joseph Pulitzer suspended in the crystal. When people see my 'Pulitzer' (I keep it in my sock drawer), they are pretty amazed at its meagerness.
