It’s a man’s world and show business is a man’s meal, with women generously sprinkled through it like overqualified spice.)
“She: One of us is boring. He: Why do you say that? She: Because . . . well, we’re just sitting here, not talking. He: What’s wrong with that? She: Well, I don’t know. Probably nothing—it’s just that we don’t need each other for it. He: For what? She: Being quiet.”

“The compromise I made was not an easy thing to do It was either you or me and I chose you Although far from a joker you spoke in wry, wry riddles I could’ve given you so much but you wanted so little I thought you might supply some tenderness I lacked But out of all the things I offered you took my breath away And now I want it back”

“I think he would destroy all your people to make room for our people; and then he would do the same with other worlds again. He wants our race to last for always, I think and he hopes they will leap from world to world . . . always going to a new sun when an old one dies . . . or something like that.”

“You spoke yesterday, Lady, of clinging to the old good instead of taking the good that came.” “Yes—for a few heartbeats.” “There was an eldil who clung longer—who has been clinging since before the worlds were made.” “But the old good would cease to be a good at all if he did that.” “Yes. It has ceased. And still he clings.”

“I realised that the search for the Knowledge has encouraged us to think of the House as if it were a sort of riddle to be unravelled, a text to be interpreted, and that if ever we discover the Knowledge, then it will be as if the Value has been wrested from the House and all that remains will be mere scenery. The sight of the One-Hundred-and-Ninety-Second Western Hall in the Moonlight made me see how ridiculous that is. The House is valuable because it is the House. It is enough in and of Itself. It is not the means to an end.”
