Status Updates From Bare Alberte

Litt efter hører de andre Jeanne hulke og Pierre tale lavt og beroligende.

Inatt, tenker Alberte mekaniskt: Inatt -

Natten kommer og er ganske riktig en av dem, da hun må dra teppet over hodet for ikke å høre Jeannes intense, overstrømmende hvisken, hennes taushet og lykkelige sukk, knakningen av sengen deres der inne.

"She had arrived at something important in life, and she had arrived there unawares, as we so often do."

“Everything passes, life wipes out its own traces.”

"Don't let yourself be paralysed by the bad days, when nothing happens. Something is lying there, turning into something, something that you don't know how to grasp. You feel a wastrel and a criminal. If you try to help, you catch hold of an arm or a leg and everything is at deadlock, like an embryo lying in the wrong position. Yet you must go on tugging and pulling. Life demands it, one must live."
