“I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.”

“Wenn Sie, wie so oft, den Eindruck haben, es sei unwirtlich in Ihnen, ist das ein Symptom dafür, dass Sie sich zu sehr um die Inneneinrichtung anderer Menschen gekümmert haben.”
