“She was listening to a voice, a much loved voice, a voice of authority, which said: simplify your life, travel light, do not become involved with family problems, possessions, or the troubles of others, do not marry, marriage ends truthfulness, live with solitude, solitude is essential if real thinking is to take place. She thought, he will never forgive, me, he will despise me and cast me out, he warned me against the ambiguous Eros, the deceiver, the magician, the sophist, the maker of drugs and poisons. Of course I am in love, yes, this is love, and I am sick with it - but what follows? Do I really believe that I shall give over my life, the whole of my life, which is only just now really beginning to another person? Shall I cease forever to be the cat that walks by herself in the wild lone? What has happened to my soldierly completeness with which I was so content, my satisfaction and my pride?”

“It is becoming quite irksome, this stubbornness of hers about marrying. Suitors do appear occasionally, men eager to marry her, but she will have nothing to do with any of them. I wouldn't be at all surprised if she picked the worst of the lot in the end; as an old Thai saying goes, she who has one chance to walk the length of the garden in search of the perfect rose may have to pick in haste from the last bush.”
