“My last refuge, my books: simple pleasures, like finding wild onions by the side of a road, or requited love.”

“The window shades have all been removed. Nighttime is now free to encroach.”

“Listen to me: die after me, all right? I don't care what else you do, where you go, how you screw up your life, just... survive. Outlive me, please.”

“My last refuge, my books: simple pleasures, like finding wild onions by the side of a road, or requited love.”

“Time wounds all heals.”
