“To be running breathlessly, but not yet arrived, is itself delightful, a suspended moment of living hope.”

“Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible in us be found.”

“Novels institutionalize the ruse of eros. It becomes a narrative texture of sustained incongruence, emotional and cognitive. It permits the reader to stand in triangular relation to the characters in the story and reach into the text after the objects of their desire, sharing their longing but also detached from it, seeing their view of reality but also its mistakenness. It is almost like being in love.”
