“If I could mark clearly, convincingly and consistently what was good for me and also what was bad — if I could say yes and also no, as if it were the law — it would become my law. It finally had to. I understood that it wouldn’t be easy, it would be very hard; I’d need to resist the habit I had developed long ago – with conviction. I’d have to be impolite, an inconvenience, and sometimes awkward. But if I could commit, all that discomfort would add up to zap predatory threats like a Taser gun. I’d stun them. They’d bow to me. I’d let my no echo against the mountains. And better to feel bad for a moment saying no – and stop it – than to get harmed.”

Sono consapevole dell'onore che mi fa con la sua proposta, ma non posso fare altro che declinarla" "So bene" rispose il signor Collins con un gesto affettato della mano "che di solito le signorine respingono la prima proposta dell'uomo che intendono segretamente accettare, e che talvolta il rifiuto si ripete per una seconda e anche una terza volta. Non mi sento perciò affatto scoraggiato da ciò che mi ha appena detto e continuo a sperare di portarla presto all'altare.”
