“The "long suit" in most courtships is sex attraction, of course. Then gradually develops such comradeship as the two temperaments allow. Then, after marriage, there is either the establishment of a slow-growing, widely based friendship, the deepest, tenderest, sweetest of relations, all lit and warmed by the recurrent flame of love; or else that process is reversed, love cools and fades, no friendship grows, the whole relation turns from beauty to ashes.”

“A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel, or not to feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at any moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to -- letting a person be what he really is.”

“Nunca tivera uma alegria de criança. Se fizera homem antes dos dez anos para lutar pela mais miserável das vidas: a vida de criança abandonada. Nunca conseguira amar a ninguém, a não ser a este cachorro que o segue. Quando os corações das demais crianças ainda estão puros de sentimentos, o do Sem-Pernas já estava cheio de ódio. Odiava a cidade, a vida, os homens. Amava unicamente o seu ódio, sentimento que o fazia forte e corajoso apesar do defeito físico.”
