“Tout serait possible, tout si tu étais capable d’aimer. Je dis bien : capable d’aimer comme on dirait capable de marcher. Le fait que tu ne parles jamais, ce qui m’a tellement frappée, vient de ça aussi, de ce manque à dire, d’avoir à dire. Peut‑être est‑ce un retard seulement, je l’espère. Tu n’es même pas méchant. Je suis beaucoup plus méchante que toi. Mais j’ai en moi, dans le même temps, l’amour, cette disposition particulière irremplaçable de l’amour. Tu ne l’as pas. Tu es déserté de ça.”

“To borrow Granny’s description, a bookstore is a place densely populated with tens of thousands of authors, dead or living, residing side by side. But books are quiet. They remain dead silent until somebody flips open a page. Only then do they spill out their stories, calmly and thoroughly, just enough at a time for me to handle.”

“People shut their eyes to a distant tragedy saying there’s nothing they could do, yet they didn’t stand up for one happening nearby either because they’re too terrified. Most people could feel but didn’t act. They said they sympathized, but easily forgot. The way I see it, that was not real. I didn’t want to live like that.”

“I need to create. It is a physical urge, a craving, like breathing, like eating; when it’s going well, it’s better than sex, and when it’s not, I can’t take pleasure in anything else.”
