I looked at Giovanni's face, which did not help me. He belonged to this strange city, which did not belong to me.

It was not really so strange, so unprecedented, though voices deep within me boomed, For shame! For shame! that I should be so abruptly, so hideously entangled with a boy; what was strange was that this was but one tiny aspect of the dreadful human tangle, occurring everywhere, without end, forever.”

I also propose that this method or “device” (as I have called it) was learned in part from a very young age from her parents.”

“I acknowledge that such a debt [of service to my fellow-citizens] exists, that a tour of duty in whatever line he can be most useful to his country, is due from every individual.

Not of our whole life, for instance, for that would be to be born a slave-not even of a very large portion of it.”
