“Mas a exclusão, que me impus, dos fins e dos movimentos da vida; que procurei, do meu contacto com as coisas — levou-me precisamente àquilo q que eu procurava fugir. Eu não queria sentir a vida, nem tocar as coisas, sabendo, pela experiência do meu temperamento em contágio do mundo, que a sensação da vida era sempre dolorosa para mim. Mas ao evitar esse contacto, isolei-me, e, isolando-me, exacerbei a minha sensibilidade já excessiva. Se fosse possível cortar de todo o contacto com as coisas, bem iria à minha sensibilidade. Mas esse isolamento total não pode realizar-se. Por menos que eu faça, respiro; por menos que aja, movo-me. E, assim, conseguindo exacerbar e minha sensibilidade pelo isolamento, consegui que os factos mínimos, que antes mesmo a mim nada fariam, me ferissem como catástrofes. Errei o método de fuga. Fugi, por um rodeio incômodo, para o mesmo lugar onde estava, com o cansaço da viagem sobre o horror de viver ali.”

“I want so obviously, so desperately to be loved, and to be capable of love. I am still so naive; I know pretty much what I like and dislike; but please, don't ask me who I am. A passionate, fragmentary girl, maybe?”

“When they arrived they would briefly and passionately mate, for the first and only time, and from that fiery union new turtle would be born to carry a new pattern of worlds. This was known as the Big Bang hypothesis.”
