“আমি যাকে পায়ের তলায় রাখতে চাই এবং রাখতে পারি,সে কাতর ভাবে আমার কাছে দয়া ভিক্ষা করবে,এটাই স্বাভাবিক।কিন্তু সে যদি বিনা প্রতিবাদে পায়ের তলায় শুয়ে থাকে রবং মনে মনে আমাকেও তার পায়ের তলায় রাখে,তাহলে সুখটা ঠিক সম্পূর্ন হয় না”

“I avoid looking down at my body, not so much because it’s shameful or immodest but because I don’t want to see it. I don’t want to look at something that determines me so completely.”

“Maybe life was just a series of phases—one phase after another after another. Maybe, in a couple of years, I’d be going through the same phase as the eighteen-year-old lifeguards. Not that I really believed in my mom’s phase theory. It didn’t sound like an explanation—it sounded like an excuse. I don’t think my mom got the whole guy thing. I didn’t get the guy thing either. And I was a guy.”

“A story is like a letter. Dear You, I'll say. Just you, without a name. Attaching a name attaches you to the world of fact, which is riskier, more hazardous: who knows what the chances are out there, of survival, yours? I will say you, you, like an old love song. You can mean more than one. You can mean thousands. I'm not in any immediate danger, I'll say to you. I'll pretend you can hear me. But it's no good, because I know you can't.”
