1 " We're so far from having any control over what happens to us, it's not even funny. Well, that's not true, actually. It is funny. "

2 " GABY:
Are you scared of dying?
FATHER:
I live in absolute dread of dying not so much because I fear death. I'm ready, I'm accommodated, even eager sometimes. (After all, what self-respecting anthropologist isn't intrigued by the prospect of the ultimate terra igcognita?) I dread dying because I can't bear the thought of it causing you any sadness or pain, of hurting you in some irreparable way. But that really is a supreme, preening form of narcissism, isn't it? To think that your death will constitute the most tragic event in your daughter's life, one from which she'll never, couldn't -possibly-, recover... As if all daughters don't actually recover, as if that recovery isn't just the very -way- of things.
Gaby:
How do you know I'm not the exception to the rule, though? And what if they don't -all- recover? What if it -is- something daughters can never recover from? "
