“It wasn't supposed to. It was just supposed to stop you from hurting yourself.” “It helps—” “No it doesn't. It just pushes it away temporarily. Just like the booze.” “But I need—” “You need to let yourself feel. Feel it, own it. Then move on.” “You make it sound so easy.” Bitterness drips from each syllable. “It’s not. It’s the fucking hardest thing a person can do.” I smooth a damp strand out of her face and away from my mouth. “It’s the hardest fucking thing. It’s why we drink and do drugs and fight. It’s why I play music and build engines.”

“The intense thereness of it-haecceity Sax had called it once, when John had asked him something about his religious beliefs-I believe in haecceity, Sax had said, in thisness, in here-and-nowness, in the particular individuality of every moment. That's why I want to know what is this? what is this? what is this? Now, remembering Sax's odd word and his odd religion, John finally understood him; because he was feeling the thisness of the moment like a rock in his hand, and it felt as if his entire life had been lived only to get him to this moment.”

“Silentium![1] Молчи, скрывайся и таи И чувства и мечты свои — Пускай в душевной глубине Встают и заходя́т оне Безмолвно, как звезды́ в ночи, — Любуйся ими — и молчи. Как сердцу высказать себя? Другому как понять тебя? Поймёт ли он, чем ты живёшь? Мысль изрече́нная есть ложь. Взрывая, возмутишь ключи, — Питайся ими — и молчи. Лишь жить в себе самом умей — Есть целый мир в душе твоей Таинственно-волшебных дум; Их оглуши́т наружный шум, Дневные разгоня́т лучи, — Внимай их пенью — и молчи!.. 1830”
