“A free spirit myself, I secretly admired a freer one. To deny his right to chose his own path, was to deny myself that right, too.”

“Sharp I said: 'Oh yes, it's absolutely normal, but I don't have to like it. I hate it. And we can none of us avoid it, can we? That ultimate betrayal of the body, when your own flesh fails you.
