Тъмното нещо се смесва със светлото нещо и в здрача изгрява дъга. Толкова обикновена, че чак прекрасна. Има ли дъга, непременно се появяват очи, за да я видят. Източват се крака и щукват след дъгата. Протягат се ръце готови на всичко за едно докосване само. Само едно докосване! И ето го светът!
Човек може да се самозалъгва с нещо неясно и неизвестно, но не и с едно лице.
Има великолепни хора, които срещаме в лош момент от живота ни. Има и хора, които са великолепни, защото ги срещаме в добър момент от живота ни.
След любов човек винаги се чувства малко в центъра на света.
... тъгата на младите винаги е неизлечима, а страданията им безпричинни.
Една хотелска стая, след като прибереш нещата си в куфарите и оставиш след себе си само хаос, твоя хаос, е много красив отпечатък и е жалко, че този отпечатък се чете и заличава от отегчени камериерки, чиито мисли са някъде другаде.

My husband's not really misanthropic, he just loves solitude.
"I don't want you to just accept the world as it's given," she said.
She said, "I want you to invent it. I want you to have that skill. To create your own reality. Your own set of laws. I want to try and teach you that."
The boy had a pen now, and she said to draw the river in the book. Draw the river, and draw the mountains up ahead. And name them, she said. Noth with words he already knew, but to make up new words that didn't already mean a bunch of other stuff.
To create his own symbols.

And I really don't care how I look. Or what you think.
So deal with it.

По-добрият начин - Марульовците от стария Рим сигурно са го знаели - е да се оттеглиш навреме, прилично, почтено, без драматизъм, без да наказваш себе си или семейството си - просто сбогуване, топла вана и отворена вена, топло море и ножче за бръснене.
