Innocence

• I experienced a momentary feeling of innocence none of us truly has past the age of one.
• Children take no credit for their innocence. Not only didn’t they create it, they eschew it, disposing of it at the first opportunity.
• Lydia wore her innocence as she wore Aunt Agatha’s diamond-studded brooch- prominently, but as something not discussed by those of good breeding.
• Anthony wondered, “If I contemplate giving up my innocence, perhaps I already have. Can a truly innocent person conceive of abandoning it?”
• Portia shed her innocence with no more thought than she’d give to removing her raincoat when a storm had passed.
