“Descobri que a minha obsessão de que cada coisa estivesse no seu lugar, cada assunto no seu tempo, cada palavra no seu estilo, não era o prémio merecido de uma mente ordenada mas, pelo contrário, um sistema completo de simulação inventado por mim para ocultar a desordem da minha natureza. Descobri que não sou disciplinado por virtude, mas como reacção contra a minha negligência; que pareço generoso para encobrir a minha mesquinhez, que passo por prudente por ser pessimista, que sou conciliador para não sucumbir às minhas cóleras reprimidas, que só sou pontual para que não se saiba que pouco me importa o tempo alheio. Descobri, por fim, que o amor não é um estado de alma mas um signo do Zodíaco.”

“Over the years I'd lodged him in the permanent past, my pluperfect lover, put him on ice, stuffed him with memories and mothballs like a hunted ornament confabulating with the ghost of all my evenings. I'd dust him off from time to time and then put him back on the mantelpiece. He no longer belonged to earth or to life. All I was likely to discover at this point wasn't just how distant were the paths we'd taken, it was the measure of loss that was going to strike me--a loss I didn't mind thinking about in abstract terms but which would hurt when stared at in the face, the way nostalgia hurts long after we've stopped thinking of things we lost and may never have cared for.”
