Status Updates From Frank et Billy

“It’s history. It’s my own historical event. In some way it doesn’t matter what I feel. It’s what I remember.”

“Truth is not always lovely.”

“How hopeless it seemed ever to know another person!”

“No one, he reflected sadly, ever possesses anyone else. The act of love can be performed by complete strangers, but it is quite another thing to have access to what someone else actually thinks.”

“It was one thing to be in love. It was quite another to be loved back.”

“In the case of true love, things simply happen—almost the only circumstances under which they do.”
