“Su Internet avevo visto vecchi rossetti Yardley – lo stick ormai ridotto a un impasto ceroso sbriciolato – in vendita per quasi cento dollari. In modo che le donne di una certa età potessero sentirlo di nuovo, quell’odore chimico di fiori. Ecco quanto ci tenevano le persone, a sapere che la loro vita era accaduta davvero, che ciò che erano state un tempo esisteva ancora da qualche parte dentro di loro.”

“Decide to be fine until the end of the week. Make yourself smile, because you're alive and that's your job. Then do it again the next week. I call it being professional. Do it right, with a smile, or don't do it.”

“Death is a strange thing. People live their whole lives as if it does not exist, and yet it's often one of the great motivations for living. Some of us, in time, become so conscious of it that we live harder, more obstinately, with more fury. Some need its constant presence to even be aware of its antithesis. Others become so preoccupied with it that they go into the waiting room long before it has announced its arrival. We fear it, yet most of us fear more than anything that it may take someone other than ourselves. For the greatest fear of death is always that it will pass us by. And leave us there alone.”
