1 " I wish you'd fall in love with me," she said."Why?""Because you're really someone worth falling in love with. And if we were in love, I wouldn't be drifting. I wouldn't be nobody. At least not while I was with you. "
― Anne Rampling , Belinda
2 " Fájdalom. Kimondhatatlan fájdalom. Nem érdekelt, ki mindenki figyel most ebből vagy egy másik világból, ki próbál osztozni velem a pillanatban, és ki az, aki pusztán remegve nézi, amint én átélem. Nem számított. Amikor efféle fájdalom ér minket, mindig egyedül vagyunk. "
3 " Dear God," she said. She was shuddering suddenly and the tears came back and she looked past me into the light overhead. "If I can't trust you, then there is no one." "I love you" I said. "I don't care about any of it, I swear. I love you." Holy Communion," she said. squeezing her eyes so the tears came out.Yes Holy Communion, my darling," I said. "
4 " I know this kind of person. I've known them all my life. They get the sympathy of others with what passes for insecurity. But what really motivates them is a vanity so immense most of us can not conceive of it. Insecurity is simply a disguise. "
5 " There she is in one of those tiny white bikinis, which is infinitely more seductive than pure nakedness. "
6 " She's one of these beautiful women who's just a nobody and a nothing, and when they make it big, they always fall apart. Money can't do anything for them. Fame only makes things worse. "
7 " I watched her peel off the slip, The bra closed in the front like the other. Ah, my teeth clenched seeing her tighten the clasps, breasts gathered like that. The she smoothed the flesh into the cups, lifted each breast, dropped it, her fingers casual, rough. I got hard watching it. Then the panties came up stretched sheer over her pubic hair. I could see the silk seal itself over her secret lips. Little crack. Hair a dark shadow underneath. "
8 " You know, one thing I learned about actors and actresses - I mean the big stars. They can be the most ignorant people if they get caught up in it very young. Some of them are damn near illiterate. And emotionally they're like people who have grown up in the penal system. I mean, they cannot control their emotions at all. "
9 " How do I look?""Rapeable "
10 " But who was she? The question again, as if there ought to be a very specific answer. Maybe an allure that strong always creates a feeling of recognition. Some one I ought to know, have known, dreamt up, been in love with forever.~Jeremy "
11 " And a sad realization drifted through my head, something to do with how young she was, how good she looked in any light, how light didn't make the slightest difference with her. And how old I was, and how all young people, even plain young people, had begun to look beautiful to me. "
12 " But there was something strange about her that made me think she was "somebody." I don't mean her poise, the cool manner in which she stood with arms folded just watching all the goings on at the book party. Kids inherit that poise. It's their enemy, the way ignorance was the enemy of my generation. "
13 " The awareness of happiness comes after, in memory, with the belated appreciation of the moment. "
14 " —Probablemente. Quizá lo que trato de decirte es que si vamos a estar juntos durante mucho tiempo, deberás acostumbrarte a mí. Tendrás que habituarte a la evasión. Así es como yo soy. "
15 " Luego, estando yo a punto de dormirme, la así con fuerza por la muñeca. —Ni se te ocurra marcharte de aquí sin decirme nada —le dije. —Átame a las columnas y entonces no podré irme —me susurró al oído. "
