“I think I’ve discovered what happiness is: whistling the moment you wake up, not getting in anyone’s way, owing no explanations, and falling into bed at daybreak, body addled from exhaustion and mind free of every last trace of bitterness and dust.”

“When it came to love, we found ourselves confronting a foreign language. We did not know how to estimate or value things that were free.

But they seemed to belong to everybody: we couldn’t keep them for ourselves.”
