“Alexandre avait commencé à causer avec son voisin, un fonctionnaire, depuis très longtemps employé à l'hôtel de ville de Montréal; de l'avis de son médecin, il lui aurait fallu trois mois de vacances. Mais comment faire? Une seule de ces filles était mariée. Il disait que la vie des homme semblait être de sortir de leur campagne afin de faire assez d'argent dans la ville pour venir refaire leur santé à la campagne.”

“After all, what is a liver? My father, for example, died of cancer of the liver and was never sick a day in his life up till the moment it killed him. Never felt a twinge of pain. In a way, that was too bad, since I hated my father. Lust for my mother, you know.”

“Alone, I often fall down into nothingness. I must push my foot stealthily lest I should fall off the edge of the world into nothingness. I have to bang my head against some hard door to call myself back to the body.”

“Other people have faces; Susan and Jinny have faces; they are here. Their world is the real world. The things they lift are heavy. They say Yes, they say No; whereas I shift and change and am seen through in a second. If they meet a housemaid she looks at them without laughing. But she laughs at me. They know what to say if spoken to. They laugh really; they get angry really; while I have to look first and do what other people do when they have done it.”
