It was lucky he hadn't finished his sentence. He had to get out of the habit of speaking pointless words.
He didn't know yet that everything he saw had its importance, and became a little more important with each day. You think "school." And you have a ready-made image of it in your mind. But in some cases, the tiniest detail might one day become so precious that you would never forgive yourself for not having looked at it more carefully.

This citation and the previous posting about Simenon reminds me of this guy I always see in Chapters, and he is FOREVER reading Simenon. He is reading it in the French, though.
I have never heard a negative thing about Simenon.
Your postings, along with the Mystery Man's comments are like a confirmation that I should read some Simenon myself!
