"What do we call it when someone knows the worst
about us, the worst and most wounding, and does not come out with it but
on the contrary suppresses it and continues to smile on us and make little
jokes? We call it affection. Where else in the world, at this late stage, are
you going to find affection, you ugly old man? "

'I learned a lesson from it: that love need not be
reciprocated as long as there is enough of it in the room. This girl had
enough love for two. You are the writer, the heart expert, but did you know
that? If you love deeply enough, it is not necessary to be loved back.’

‘Everything in the world was, once upon a
time, new. Even I was new. The hour I was born I was the latest, newest
thing on the face of the earth. Then time got to work on me. As time will get
to work on you. Time will eat you up, Drago. One day you will be sitting in
your nice new house with your nice new wife, and your son will turn
around to the pair of you and say, Why are you so old-fashioned? .’

"I have been overtaken by time, by history. This flat, and
everything in it, has been overtaken. There is nothing strange in that – in
being overtaken by time. It will happen to you too, if you live long enough."

"Truth is not spoken in anger. Truth is spoken, if
it ever comes to be spoken, in love. The gaze of love is not deluded. Love
sees what is best in the beloved, even when what is best in the beloved finds
it hard to emerge into the light. "

"I can’t begin to tell you how tired I
am. And not with the kind of tiredness that can be fixed by a good night’s
sleep in a proper bed. The tiredness I refer to has become part of my being.
It is like a dye that has begun to seep into everything I do, everything I say.
I feel, to use Homer’s word, unstrung."
