44 " The sight of land, far away, brought you back to the reality the sea had made you forget. As you drew nearer to the beach, you would leave behind the waking dream the waves had thrown you into "
45 " The sight of land, far away, brought you back to the reality the sea had made you forget. As you drew nearer to the beach, you would leave behind the waking dream the waves had thrown you into. "
46 " No one other than yourself could have given you a greater taste for life than for death. "
47 " Speaking commits me Listening teaches me Silence tempers me Birth "
48 " Dialogue binds me Monologue imposes upon me Soliloquy isolates me The "
49 " You didn’t identify with happy people, and in your excessiveness you projected onto those who had failed in everything, or succeeded in nothing. "
50 " You would renounce organizing your future. You would let yourself be guided by the randomness of encounters and events, indifferent to one choice over another. "
51 " The homeless embodied the final stage in a decline your life could have tended toward. You did not take them for victims, but for authors of their own lives. "
52 " ...dünyaya uyum sağlayamadığını hissetmek seni şaşırtmıyordu da dünyanın, içinde yabancı gibi yaşayan birini yaratmış olmasına şaşıyordun. bitkiler intihar eder mi? hayvanlar umutsuzluktan ölür mü? onlar ya işler, ya yok olurlar. sen belki de evrimin en zayıf halkası, kaza sonucu ortaya çıkmış bir iziydin. bir daha canlanmamaya yazgılı, geçici bir anomaliydin...

59 " Al despertar, tendido en la cama en plena oscuridad, con los postigos cerrados, tus pensamientos fluían como el agua. Se ensombrecían cuando te levantabas y corrías las cortinas.

De día, las personas eran muros que te dividían, y te impedían captar lo que escuchabas de noche: la voz de tu cerebro. "
60 " Tienes veinticinco años. Ahora sabes más que yo sobre la muerte. "
