“And I see now why she has put up with all of this. It's because we understand each other, it's because we have this binding sort of love that is rare and good that we don't get anywhere else. So rare and so good that I cannot even make sense of it, the same way that nobody can make real sense of God or the reasons why we are alive. I think that dancing with her tonight is the reason that I am alive.”

“My own feelings are a hedge of briars that i can't bring myself to touch. There are so many unhappy people, I just don't want to find out that I am one of them. They walk among us, they touch you, and you become them. Introspection is like cyanide.”

“I would sooner face the Devil than lose her. When I am without her, I feel nothing but sadness, I do nothing but look at the clock and wait for her to come back. When she looks at me, a simple look, I am newly stunned by the ways that she can look. Sweet Susannah, where I am a burnt-out star, you are the sun.”

“How can I fix this? Do I want this fixed? I wouldn't want to live not knowing the goodness of Susannah. She is fresh air, and warmth, and mornings in July. What is there to fix? There is evil in my yearning, I know, I just can't see where yet. And does it matter? There is no way that she has the same feeling that she found in me. We aren't a match, not like that. Susannah is golden sunlight, and I am a struggling sapling at best, crippled by heliotropism; she does not need me the way that I need her. But then, how could she recognise this odd sort of attraction if she did not know it herself?”
