“Suddenly the thought that the end of her life was imminent shocked him; it was one thing to pity someone he didn't know, quite another to face the same dilemma with someone he knew intimately. That was the trouble with beds. They turned strangers into intimates more quickly than ten years of polite teas in parlours.”

“When a captive lion steps out of his cage, he comes into a wider world than the lion who has known only the wilds. While he was in captivity, there were only two worlds for him - the world of the cage, and the world outside the cage. Now he is free. He roars. He attacks people. He eats them. Yet he is not satisfied, for there is no third world that is neither the world of the cage nor the world outside the cage.”

“Vous avez déjà perdu quelqu'un de proche? [...] Vous n'avez jamais l'impression que ces êtres-là vivent en vous? ... Vraiment... Qu'ils ont deposé en vous quelque chose qui ne disparaîtra que lorsque vous mourrez vous-même? ... Des gestes... Une façon de parler ou de penser... Une fidélité à certaines choses et à certains lieux... Croyez-moi. Les morts vivent. Ils nous font faire des choses. Ils influent sur nos décisions. Ils nous forcent. Nous façonnent.”
