“The thing about power is, EVERYONE has power in some form or another. How, why, where, and with (or against) whom you use your power is what sets you apart from others. Powerful people act strategically to reach a meaningful, beneficial goal; an outcome that serves the greater good. A lot of people *with* power (there is a difference) act to keep you from reaching goals. They are self-serving and insecure; they overcompensate by wielding power to mask weaknesses.

Örneğin; geniş yüzey, devamlılık. Aforizmalardan, fragmanlardan oluşan bir roman yazılabilir mi? Hangi koşullarda bu mümkün olabilir? Romanın roman olarak kendisi de belli bir devamlılığa işaret etmiyor mu? Bu noktada bir direniş olduğunu düşünüyorum. İkinci direniş noktası da adlarla, özel adlarla ilişkimde bulunuyor; özel adlar uydurmayı bilmiyorum, bilemeyeceğim de ve üstelik ben romanın tamamen özel adlarla var olduğunu düşünüyorum...”

“Lee stares right at me. "You are Alena the Supermodel to the world, but with me, you are Mrs. Greene and I will take care of you and drive you to where you want to go." I nod and slide into the backseat without a destination, holding on to my clutch bag that only contains some loose change and my phone. Nothing seems to matter at this moment. Right now, I am more interested in who I am with more than where I am going. "Where to, Ma'am?" Lee asks, turning on the ignition. "I don't care. Just drive.”
