“When she left the library, pearly threads linked roof to roof, dormer to dormer, a luminescent web under which everyone was equally chosen.”

“The postman on his bicycle, she envied him, envied his wheels kissing the cobbles, that he knew one language only, one country only, envied his undivided past, undivided from his future.”

“MUSE REBELLE, RENDEZ-VOUS Á LA PREMIÉRE PLUIE (rebel muse, rendezvous at the first rain)”

“FAITES L'AMOUR ET RECOMMENCEZ (make love and make it again)”

“We've always known that a marriage our parents approved meant giving up Paris and its bells.”
