“Eustacia Vye was the raw material of a divinity. On Olympus she would have done well with a little preparation. She had the passions and instincts which make a model goddess, that is, those which make not quite a model woman. Had it been possible for the earth and mankind to be entirely in her grasp for a while, had she handled the distaff, the spindle, and the shears at her own free will, few in the world would have noticed the change in government. . . .”

“Eva is a story of repetition. It is a story where our protagonist faces the same situation many times over and determinedly picks himself back up again. It is a story of the will to move forward, even if only a little. It is a story of the resolve to want to be together, even though it is frightening to have contact with others and endure ambiguous loneliness. I would be most gratified if you found enjoyment in these four parts as it takes the same story and metamorphoses it into something different.”

“Eva stroked the back of my neck with one hand and ran her other hand up and down my chest. She broke away from my tongue and kissed my lips over and under. Then she sat slightly back and looked at my face. I looked at her presence with a flush of wonder and at her face which was partially hidden by her long, auburn locks, which had fallen in from the sides. She parted her hair away from her face deftly with her hands and then leaned forward and kissed me first under my right eye and then under my left eye. It was the sexiest moment of my life. “You should close the door,” she told me.”

“Eva voeg zich dat af: waarom mensen niet gewoon krijgen wat ze verdienen, misschien omdat ze ook moeten verdienen wat ze krijge, denk ik nu. Want dat is moeilijk: naar jezelf kijken, en naar het leven dat je altijd hebt geleid, je afvragen of het beter kan, durven toegeven van wel. En dan genoeg op jezelf vertrouwen om te kiezen voor verandering. Omdat de liefde zo groot is. Omdat ze maar niet overgaat. Omdat je weet, diep vanbinnen, dat daar het echte geluk ligt. En dat je echt ten diepste verbonden voelen met iemand alles beter maakt, afstraalt op iedereen die je graag ziet.”

“Eva was rather impressed that we had made all the necessary arrangements. I did not tell her that I would shortly be leaving my job, because already she had said that penniless people had no right to have children. She didn’t seem to think it was Charles’s baby — only mine, because later on, when I was upstairs putting on my coat, she kissed me quite kindly, but spoilt it by saying, ‘I shall never forgive you, Sophia, for making my son a father at twenty-one.’ I almost added, ‘And you a grandmother at forty-six.”

“Evaluate the decisions you have ever made and ask yourself if they led you to a better place. If not, consider what you can learn and the things you need to change. Yes, some of your decisions may not have been great, but do not let them rewrite your name in a negative way. As you prepare for better days, stay in the right lane.”

“Evaluate the people around you. Are they helping you? Are they inspiring you? Are they teaching you? Are they challenging you, or are they distracting you? When you reflect on how you relate with people, be completely truthful because you should only surround yourself with those who uplift you.”
