“Je m'entends dire : "Il y a en moi ce qui se trouve chez beaucoup d'hommes dans le monde, amours, coups de feu, des phrases pleines d'épines, aucune envie d'en parler. Nous sommes ordinaires nous autres hommes. Ce qui est spécial, c'est vivre, regarder le soir le creux de sa main et savoir que le lendemain sera nouveau, que le tailleur de la nuit coud la peau, raccommode les cals, reprise les accrocs et dégonfle la fatigue." (p. 44)”

“people always say that it hurts at night
and apparently screaming into your pillow at 3am
is the romantic equivalent of being heartbroken.
but sometimes
it’s 9am on a tuesday morning
and you’re standing at the kitchen bench waiting for the toast to pop up
and the smell of dusty sunlight and earl gray tea makes you miss him so much
you don’t know what to do with your hands.”

“To read great books does not mean one becomes ‘bookish’; it means that something of the terrible insight of Dostoyevsky, of the richly-charged imagination of Shakespeare, of the luminous wisdom of Goethe, actually passes into the personality of the reader; so that in contact with the chaos of ordinary life certain free and flowing outlines emerge, like the forms of some classic picture, endowing both people and things with a grandeur beyond what is visible to the superficial glance.”
