Ursula Hegi
“I think . . . you should have children, John." At least he's no longer talking about bugs.

"I'm too young, Dad."

"It's the most important thing . . . I've done in . . . my life.”
Ursula Hegi, Hotel of the Saints

“To my surprise, I find the most relevant commentary on a marriage that continues into the sunset years comes from the radical German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, who, in an atypically practical frame of mind, wrote, 'When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everthing else in marriage is transitory.”
Daniel Klein, Travels with Epicurus: A Journey to a Greek Island in Search of a Fulfilled Life

“When my father-in-law, Jan Vuijst, a Dutch Reformed minister, was on his deathbed, I had a deeply intimate conversation with him - as it turned out, my last conversation with him. He said to me, 'It was a privilege to have lived.' The soulful gratitude of that simple statement will never leave me.”
Daniel Klein, Travels with Epicurus: A Journey to a Greek Island in Search of a Fulfilled Life

Ursula Hegi
“Everyone does it."

"But no one talks about it," Gloria said. "About the different levels of skill involved. You have to practice before you become a great masturbator.”
Ursula Hegi, Hotel of the Saints

“I am not looking for a thing; I am searching for a spiritual experience.”
Daniel Klein, Travels with Epicurus: A Journey to a Greek Island in Search of a Fulfilled Life
