Quote by Clementine von Radics

“I wonder if you know yet that you’ll leave me. That you are a child playing with matches and I have a paper body. You will meet a girl with a softer voice and stronger arms and she will not have violent secrets or an affection for red wine or eyes that never stay dry. You will fall into her bed and I’ll go back to spending Friday nights with boys who never learn my last name.”

“সবাই মানুষ থাকবে না। কেউ কেউ ধুলো হবে, কেউ কেউ কাঁকর ও বালি খোলামকুচির জোড়াতালি। কেউ ঘাস, অযত্নের অপ্রীতির অমনোযোগের বংশানুক্রমিক দূর্বাদল। আঁধারে প্রদীপ কেউ নিরিবিলি একাকী উজ্জ্বল। সন্ধ্যায় কুসুমগন্ধ, কেউ বা সন্ধ্যার শঙ্খনাদ। অনেকেই বর্ণমালা অল্প কেউ প্রবল সংবাদ।”

“I use the chopsticks to outline the biggest heart possible. Then I use the Sweet'N Low packets to fill it in. I borrow some from two other tables when I run out. When I'm done, I point to the heart on the table. "This," I say, "is only about one ninety-millionth of how I feel about you." She laughs. "I'll try not to take it personally," she says. "Take what personally?" I say. "You should take it very personally." "The fact that you used artificial sweetener?" I take a Sweet'N Low and fling it at her. "Not everything is a symbol!" I shout.”

“It’s not Love. But what fault is it of mine if my affections do not become Love? Very much my fault, I would say, when I can live from day to day on mad purity, blind pity… Make a scandal of meekness. But the violence of the senses and intellect that has confounded me for years was the only way.”

“Med människor i en liten båt sker något sällsamt. Vad de upplever är att de känner sig ensamma. Vad de känner är att de är ensamma tillsammans, tillsammans med de andra i båten. Därför uppstår mellan människor i små båtar en tillfällig tillgivenhet. Man har ju bara varandra och djupa vatten är skrämmande och små båtar är mycket bräckliga. Var och en blir den andres livboj. Är inte du rädd så inte är jag det.”
