“For how can we trust, he’d said, when we are unsure of a being’s capacity for kindness and decency? Once we become aware that one’s capacity for kindness is different to ours, is there any going back to what those two people might have been? Or do those two people merely trust each other in things up to that place where their decency and kindness differ?

“You live here and you know how crammed full every room is. My mother and Bella call it the Sander’s legacy. I call it the fifth circle of hell. When I lived here, I had to fight to hold a thought from the time I woke up in the morning until I fell into a fitful sleep. I ended up losing myself in projects I never finished or spacing out. Too much stuff leads to me being even more easily distracted. It’s like I’m standing in a field and there are dozens of fires all around me and I can’t decide which I should put out first. So, I had to learn how much I could deal with.”

“Women friends reached the parts of you that you didn’t even realise were unhappy until you relaxed in their company. Even a new female friend could help you put the world into a shape you could understand.”
