Love among the ruins:
“They are so keen on Art that they say: ‘You were the best of your class. You can never dance again. How can life be worth living?’ What I try to explain is that it’s just because I can dance that I *know* life is worth living. That’s what Art means to me.”

Clara I love you 🥹

“There was a phrase in the thirties: ‘It is later than you think’, […] It was never later then Mr. Pinfold thought. At intervals during the day and night he would look at his watch and learn always with disappointment how little of his life was past, how much there was still ahead of him.” pg. 14

“I love you so. All loving is suffering.” pg. 74
