“[The modern age] knows nothing about isolation and nothing about silence. In our quietest and loneliest hour the automatic ice-maker in the refrigerator will cluck and drop an ice cube, the automatic dishwasher will sigh through its changes, a plane will drone over, the nearest freeway will vibrate the air. Red and white lights will pass in the sky, lights will shine along highways and glance off windows. There is always a radio that can be turned to some all-night station, or a television set to turn artificial moonlight into the flickering images of the late show. We can put on a turntable whatever consolation we most respond to, Mozart or Copland or the Grateful Dead.”

“Touch. It is touch that is the deadliest enemy of chastity, loyalty, monogamy, gentility with its codes and conventions and restraints. By touch we are betrayed and betray others ... an accidental brushing of shoulders or touching of hands ... hands laid on shoulders in a gesture of comfort that lies like a thief, that takes, not gives, that wants, not offers, that awakes, not pacifies. When one flesh is waiting, there is electricity in the merest contact.”

“هل تذكر الجملة المشهورة: (لماذا تحبّينه؟ إنه لا يستحق!) هذا يحدد منطق المحترف، المسألة عنده حفلة توزيع جوائز، أما منطق الهاوي -منطقي- فلا يرى الحب أو العطاء أوالبذل أو الصداقة سوى مسائل منفصلة تمامًا عن الاستحقاق أو عدمه. لا يحق لأحد في هذه الأمور أن يطالب بالثمن أو يتوقع الثمن. لا يجب أن نتوقع ولا يجب أن نتمسّك، هذا هو منطق الهاوي.”

“سأكون سعيدة لو عرفت الجوع و المذلة و الإهمال و طهرت نفسى من الشبع و الغرور و ترف ان تكون مدثرا بمن يعرفونك”
