I fell in love with him the moment I heard him on the telephone.
Quotations
I am afraid of future loneliness ... [Working in the public library] helped to tide me over the utter disorientation I felt when Paul left me, and my raging sense of pain and injustice over the divorce.
We who are members of the single classes, unmarried and unattached, are always waiting to fall in love...Every day and each encounter holds out the possibility of that momentous flash which will change everything.
I wonder whether [my mother] finds old age any easier to cope with than I do middle age, or Max youth, or Kate adolescence.
Thank God for books! The letters and words which crawl across the page like flies or insects take off and soar into four dimensions when they are read. ... It is language that I love about books rather than the imaginary worl... (show all)d to which the language conducts you.
Last words
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Christ! That my love were in my arms, and I in my bed again!
