“I read that ruins are more interesting once you knew who made them. Did made mean build or did made mean destroyed? Destroyed but not completely. You could live in ruins.”

“The birthday wishes have come in, mostly texts, but two cards arrived. The idea of me with an address is signal enough of age.
"Happy jubilee, my queen," Eli texts. "A half century of excellence."
I'm crying, not because I'm sad. Or not just sad. Not because I'm old. Not because it's a privilege to be alive when many others are gone. I'm crying because I'm remembered. And that's all there is.”

“I've wanted Rudy to understand me. He's the closest I've had to someone who does. But when I consider the reverse -- am I that person to him? Does he want to be understood? -- I see how stupid the wish is. That's what is wrong: it's a wish. A desire for something to happen. The entirety of the phrase floats off. Yearning for Rudy to see the cause, the explanation of my life. It's cruel to want someone to see everything about you because you can't imagine yourself as real.”
