“We ate in the dining room alcove looking over the hillside and the silent dark rooftops of my neighbors. The lights of the valley glittered below. We were both tired but we smiled at each other, and I felt a kind of happiness growing inside me. It was good to look across the table and see someone, and I thought maybe it was time to start thinking about that again—about finding someone. Sharing my life maybe. Or maybe just getting more friends around. Except when I pictured the friends I wanted around, they all looked like Dan, and when I thought about trying to find someone to share my life with, he too looked a little too much like Dan for comfort.”

“Kako smo bespomoćni za besanih noći! Izručeni glupim mislima koje bi naša budna pamet odmah dokrajčila, beznadnosti protiv koje se danju borilo sitnim uspjesima s pranjem rublja, parkiranjem automobila ili tješenjem prijatelja, tuzi kojoj prkosimo iscrpljujući se tenisom, rekordima u trčanju ili dizanju utega. U besanim noćima uključujemo televizor ili se laćamo neke knjige, ne da bismo tako lakše zaspali, nego da bi nam se nad slikama ili stranicama samo sklopile oči mi opet postali žrtva glupih misli, beznađa i tuge.”
