“Vera had not sensed my approach. She was peering into the instrument and turning knobs with child-like seriousness and ineptitude. It was obvious that she had never used a microscope before. I stole closer to her, and then I said, "Boo!" She jerked her head away from the eyepiece. "Hello," I said. "You scared me to death," she said. "Sorry," I said, and I laughed. These ancient games go on and on. It's nice they do.”

“Это было так неожиданно, так глупо, что я расхохотался. И тотчас же туго закрученная пружина во мне — лопнула, рука ослабела, шток громыхнул на пол. Тут я на собственном опыте увидел, что смех — самое страшное оружие: смехом можно убить все — даже убийство. Я сидел за столом и смеялся — отчаянным, последним смехом — и не видел никакого выхода из всего этого нелепого положения.”

“I used to think that finding the right one was about the man having a list of certain qualities. If he has them, we'd be compatible and happy. Sort of a checkmark system that was a complete failure. But I found out that a healthy relationship isn't so much about sense of humor or intelligence or attractive. It's about avoiding partners with harmful traits and personality types. And then it's about being with a good person. A good person on his own, and a good person with you. Where the space between you feels uncomplicated and happy. A good relationship is where things just work. They work because, whatever the list of qualities, whatever the reason, you happen to be really, really good together.”
