“His mouth went dry and for a split second he had a metallic taste on the sides of his tongue. He stood, turned, and gulped. A vision had appeared from somewhere. Was she real? She was tall, with long, glossy light-gold hair surrounding a perfectly shaped face. The front of her silk white robe was open down to a delightful cleavage where a long silver cross hung. As she walked slowly past Alec to sit at the desk, the robe parted for a fleeting glimpse of her leg. A scent of lily of the valley meandered over him. A hand with long graceful fingers indicated for him to sit again in his chair. She was real!
She was, without doubt, the most beautiful woman Alec had ever seen.”

“اليوم...إنني وحيد وحدة قاتلة والبارحة...وحيد أيضا وماقبل البارحة إني أيضا كنت وحيد وهكذا أعيش حياتي مصارعا كل ليلة روتين حياتي المقيت والمقزز والذي ينتهي كل ليلة بالأنتصار علي دافعاً إياي للذهاب للنوم خافضاً رأسي أمام كل أشياء المنزل الموجودين وجوداً مصطنعاً والذين يسخرون مني و يستهزؤن من أنني أنا أيضا مثلهم لم أستطع أن أحقق وجودي وأهزم العدم المطلق قي حياتي وبذلك أكون مثلهم موجوداً وجوداً زائداً في الحياة”

“The second jealousy is this: I am jealous that my mother had wanted more children. Wasn't I enough? When I walk in her moccasins, though, I say, "If I were my mother, I might want more children--not because I don't love my Salamanca, but because I love her so much. I want more of these.”
