Summary
"No man has ever fought against time," he said. "You can hate it and deny it and try to beat it, but by the time you think you've got it figured out, you've got no more time left, and that’s just the way it is."
That's just the way it is.

Summary
“Why isn’t it simple?” Vocalizing this question is impulsive, but Father isn’t here and Shreve is. Shreve might even know, as blood runs high in young men, as Shreve isn’t a Compson, doomed by the name we carry. The dark is still, the silence more pregnant for its brief reprieve. Shreve turns and the moon is in his eyes.
“Why isn’t what simple?” Tone neutral, avoiding declaration of war, avoiding damage to a landscape still aching from my grandfather’s error. Those eyes hidden behind glowing feminine mystique.
“Unvirginity.” I feel the blood across my cheeks and am grateful that he can’t see it. The shifting of bedclothes. Stiff words stiff lips stiff spine, hands clenching and unclenching.
“Unvirginity,” he repeats, as if tasting the phrase. I stare blindly at the ceiling, keep my itching fingers still and quiet like dead moths. Shreve swallows and I hear the wet squelch of his throat.
“It seemed pretty simple to me.”-

“It’s not your fault,” Shreve jokes, later, and presses fingers against the inside of my arm, “that you’re a proper southern lady.”

Summary
It is September 1909 when Quentin, an introvert running from his Mississippi past, and Shreve, a witty, talkative Canadian, meet for the first time.
They instantly dislike one another, but what will happen when circumstance (not to mention their mutual pining) pushes them together?~ you don’t need to read Absalom, Absalom! or The Sound and the Fury to understand this
