"We don't like to admit it, but the idea of losing control is one that fascinates controlled people such as ourselves more than almost anything. All truly civilized people " the ancients no less than us " have civilized themselves through the wilful repression of the old, animal self."
"Maybe good luck was like bad luck in that it took a while to sink in."
"And I'm hoping there's some larger truth about suffering here, or at least my understanding of it - although I've come to realize that the only truths that matter to me are the ones I don't, and can't, understand.

The loneliness that separates every living creature from every other living creature. Sorrow inseparable from joy."

Never mind that half a dozen jerks are clustered round the same person, just because they've been duped by the same pair of eyes."
"Fate is cruel but maybe not random. Nature (meaning Death) always wins but that doesn't mean we have to bow and gravel to it."
