“There's too much of everything, yet nothing.
Is it the world, or what? Everything's hanging over one.
The expectations one's bound to disappoint. The dread of misfiring. The knowing there's something one can't stave off. The Bomb is the least. Look what's got to happen to us if we do live, look at the results! Living is brutalising: just look at everybody!”

“Perhaps I was so steeped in love, had woven its mythologies through my mind for so long, that when it arrived in reality I could not recognise it. Love confused me, bewildered me, tore me apart, but not because it was not love, but because I thought it was a fake, some unreal version that did not accord with the love I had dreamt alone.”

“I figured all this happened to me because I didn’t trust myself. Not had benefited from the
orderliness that comes with absolute solitude. Gone too was the silence I’d longer for over the years.”
