"Just think, she said to herself. I could be living on the Right Bank. I could be married to a senior clerk at the Treasury. I could be sitting with my feet up, embroidering a linen handkerchief with a rambling-rose design.

"The illusion of the seventh veil was the illusion that you could get somebody else to do it for you. To think for you. To hang on your cross.

Happiness
"It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways."
Enemy
"The tongue like a sharp knife... Kills without drawing blood."
