“This brings me joy, because if I'm dead, that means you all are surely sitting around my table, breaking bread together. I'm sure many of you are wondering why you are here tonight.

I taste the fruit whose coarse skin is eaten by beasts who’ve never tasted honey. There’s no more bitter food than the fruit of love traversed by doubt.”

“It seemed to Poll, suddenly, that everyone was always looking forward to something wonderful that might never happen. Lily to being a famous actress, Mother to Dad coming home, Theo to being grown up, not an odd and lonely little boy but a person with friends, Father to making his fortune… It was a dangerous way to go on. The only safe things to be happy about were things that were over and gone.”
