“Almost overnight, the streets glow with meaning. She reads inscriptions on coins, on cornerstones and tombstones, on lead seals and buttress piers and marble plaques embedded into the defensive walls—each twisting lane of the city a great battered manuscript in its own right.”

“Jeg lytter til noget trist i mine høretelefoner. En eller anden kærlighedssang. Jeg har altid følt mig forbundet til teksterne i kærlighedssange på en utraditionel måde, som regel en eller anden sorg over mit forhold til mig selv, jeg ved det ikke.”

“...så tænker jeg i stedet på Lydia, pigen, og hvordan det ville have været, hvis hun ikke var blevet overfaldet og dræbt. Ville hun have siddet i sin lejlighed og tænke skødesløst over formålet med sit liv, indtil hun mødte nogen og fik et barn, som med tiden ville sidde alene sin lejlighed og tænke skødesløst over formålet med sit liv?”

“When I was a child, my mom used to tell me that life was like a game, and sometimes you had to do things you didn’t want to do in order to do the things that you did want to do. I always thought this was strange advice. I only ever had brief and fleeting ideas for things I did want to do, but mostly I felt completely overwhelmed by possibilities, and then just went down the list saying, no, no, no, not that, not that until I was playing this idiots game of racking up things I was doing that I didn’t want to do in service of some imaginary thing I might one day stumble upon.”
