'What was astonishing to him was how people seemed to run out of their own being, run out of whatever the stuff was that made them who they were, were drained of themselves. It was as though while their lives were rich and full they were secretly sick of themselves and couldn't wait to dispose of proportion so as to get down to that other self, the true self, who was a wholly deluded fuckup'

'There is no protest to be lodged against loneliness - not all the bombing campaigns in history have made a dent in it. The most lethal of manmade explosives can't touch it. Stand in the awe not of Communism, my idiot child, but of ordinary, everyday loneliness.
