“Até as coisas mais indeléveis têm uma duração, como as que não deixam vestígio ou nem mesmo acontecem, e se estivermos prevenidos e as anotarmos ou gravarmos ou filmarmos, se nos enchermos de recordações e chegarmos até a substituir o acontecido pela mera constância, registro e arquivamento do que aconteceu, de modo que o que na verdade ocorra desde o princípio seja nossa anotação ou nossa gravação ou nossa filmagem, apenas isso, mesmo nesse aperfeiçoamento infinito da repetição teremos perdido o tempo em que as coisas de fato aconteceram (…); e enquanto procuramos revivê-lo ou reproduzi-lo e fazê-lo voltar e impedir que seja passado, outro tempo diferente estará acontecendo, e nele, sem dúvida, não estaremos juntos nem atenderemos nenhum telefonema, nem nos atreveremos a nada, nem poderemos evitar nenhum crime e nenhuma morte (embora tampouco venhamos a cometê-los ou a causá-los), porque o estaremos deixando passar como se não fosse nosso em nossa intenção doentia de que o que já aconteceu não acabe e retorne. Assim, o que vemos e ouvimos acaba se assemelhando e até se igualando ao que não vimos nem ouvimos, é apenas uma questão de tempo, ou de que desapareçamos.”

“We live amid surfaces, and the true art of life is to skate on them well,” wrote Emerson. Is it true? If so, who can bear to believe it?”

“I walk because it confers- or restores- a feeling of placeness...I walk because, somehow, it's like reading. You're privy to these lives and conversations that have nothing to do with yours, but you can eavesdrop on them. Sometimes it's overcrowded; sometimes the voices are too loud. But there is always companionship. You are not alone. You walk in the city side by side with the living and the dead.”

“Invalidating someone else is not merely disagreeing with something that the other person said. It is a process in which individuals communicate to another that the opinions and emotions of the target are invalid, irrational, selfish, uncaring, stupid, most likely insane, and wrong, wrong, wrong. Invalidators let it be known directly or indirectly that their targets views and feelings do not count for anything to anybody at any time or in any way.”

“Become. It was a verb that had always obsessed me...I wanted to become, even though I had never known what. And I had become, that was certain, but without an object, without a real passion, without a determined ambition.”
