“Belinda stared into the fire for some time, thinking about what she had in her life, and what she had given up; and whether it would be worse to love someone who was no longer there, or not to love someone who was.”

“Belinda was able to carry the most complicated orders for six or seven tables in her head without ever forgetting an item. She also knew instinctively what her customers would order before they did. Her predictions became something of a parlor trick for a while, in fact. Beyond such obvious attributes, however, Belinda was able to morph both her personality and her looks to suit whoever she was waiting on. For example, I'd watch her waiting on a group of young women and she'd appear reserved and fresh faced. Her conversation with them would be friendly but impersonal, never threatening. For couples, she'd become sophisticated, knowledgeable, and attractive. When waiting on men, she became girlishly flirtatious and subtly sexy. Were it not for her obvious sincerity at the table, Belinda would have merely been a good actress. But I don't believe that Belinda herself was aware of her transformations, and that detachment was part of the reason she made more money and received more compliments on her service than any of her coworkers.”

“Belize: Hell or heaven?
[Roy indicates "Heaven" through a glance]
Belize: Like San Francisco.
Roy Cohn: A city. Good. I was worried... it'd be a garden. I hate that shit.
Belize: Mmmm. Big city. Overgrown with weeds, but flowering weeds. On every corner a wrecking crew and something new and crooked going up catty corner to that. Windows missing in every edifice like broken teeth, fierce gusts of gritty wind, and a gray high sky full of ravens.
Roy Cohn: Isaiah.
Belize: Prophet birds, Roy. Piles of trash, but lapidary like rubies and obsidian, and diamond-colored cowspit streamers in the wind. And voting booths.
Roy Cohn: And a dragon atop a golden horde.
Belize: And everyone in Balencia gowns with red corsages, and big dance palaces full of music and lights and racial impurity and gender confusion. And all the deities are creole, mulatto, brown as the mouths of rivers. Race, taste and history finally overcome. And you ain't there.
Roy Cohn: And Heaven?
Belize: That was Heaven, Roy.”

olup geçmişin, geleceğin ve şimdinin aynı anda zühur etmesi bu yüzdendir. Ölüm anında da bu öyle olmaz mı? Şimdinin içinde iken insan bir yandan ahirdeki yerini görür, bir yandan da tüm o geçmiş zamanlara belki de birkaç salise içinde yolculuk yapar. Yani zaman mevhumu sıfırlanır adeta.”
“Belki de hedefine zaten varmışsın; eğer bunu bilmiyorsan hedefinden uzaklaşacaksın!”
“Belki de Nurullah sadece bizden önceki yazarların şişirdiği bir balondu ve biz bir balonla karşılaşma ihtimalini göze alamadığımız için ona hep uzak duruyor, belli belirsiz seçilen siluetinde ısrarla bir derinlik arıyorduk. Nesiller süren bu rüyadan uyanma cesaretini kendimizde bulamadığımızdan bir seraba sarılıyor, ondan erdem bekliyorduk.
Belki de bizim canımız yanarken olup biten onca şeye mezar gibi kayıtsız kalabilen bu adamın hâlâ sanatlı işlemeler yapabiliyor olmasını anlayamadığımdan bu kadar tuhaf söylüyorum.”
