“I felt the love emanating from the creature. I know there is a common misconception that cats are somehow less loving than dogs. This is nonsense. The love a cat can give you is sudden and warm. It is just that a cat’s love comes completely free of any moral or ethical principles. It is love for the hell of it. It is an entirely recreational love. In-the-moment love. But it is still, somehow, love.”

“Alfonz, Norman had once said to Marta, was who was perhaps too fond of the straight edge.
“What does that mean?” Marta had asked.
“It means,” said Norman, “that life will never allow itself to be straightened, and it will drive you mad a little if you keep trying to straighten it. Too many rules with that man, always. He will become unwell after a time. You watch and see. Life always wins. Life and its crooked lines will always win.”

“People you love deeply become elemental. To hear they won't be there any more is like hearing the air or ocean won't be. It feels like a fatal disruption to the universe.”
