“I think I could stand anything, any suffering, only to be able to say and to repeat to myself every moment, 'I exist.' In thousands of agonies -- I exist. I'm tormented on the rack -- but I exist! Though I sit alone in a pillar -- I exist! I see the sun, and if I don't see the sun, I know it's there. And there's a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there.”

“What if Mrs. Bondy had been my mother instead? What might I have inherited from her? Good things. Maybe I would have wanted to be like her instead of how it is with my mother — where everything I do is to try to not be like her. Which is basically the same as becoming her in a way, how a shadow of your hand is both your hand and its opposite.”
