“Because occasionally I am the victim of sex. Sometimes love. But both are fatal. And I feel that both have no real value other than the experience.”

“Each day was a carbon copy of the last. You needed a bookmark to tell one from the other. That particular day was filled with the smell of autumn. I wrapped up work at the usual time, but when I got back to my apartment the twins were nowhere to be seen. I flopped into bed with my socks on, lit a cigarette, and let my mind wander. There were so many things I wanted to think about, but none took shape. Sighing, I sat up and glared at the white wall opposite the bed. I was stymied. Come on, man, I told myself, you can't stare at this damn wall forever. But that didn't help either. It was what the professor who oversaw my graduation thesis told me. Good style, clear argument, but you're not saying anything. That was my problem. Now I had a rare moment alone and I still couldn't get a handle on how to deal with myself.”

“Trial by Fire Loneliness is a cold flame that flays the soul. When you pass through the fire you know things then no mortal man should know. You're Lazarus come from the dead living among men with your death still on you, knowing too much to ever have a friend, a broken building with lights left on sagged against the sky, mortally wounded. You'd thought that by enduring You'd come to peace and reconciliation, warm hands. You come instead to a place where no one's been and stand in the starless night hands to your face and no strength left, lost from man and unknown to God and no way back. It's then you know you must make a place for yourself of dry bones and anguish, wring light from the substance of your will and hope from the bone-dry earth. It's then you know that the only chance you stand is to forge a star out of your living breath.”
