“(this is before we're living together, before we do the most faithful act of all, mix our separate books into one library)”
“Jill and I have known each other our whole lives. One house separates our houses but we act as if it doesn't exist. We met before we were born and we'll probably still know each other after we die. At least, that's the way we're planning it.”
“And everyone's in the same situation, basically: we're all finding our separate ways, together.”
“Our relation, all round, exists--it's a reality, and a very good one; we're mixed up, so to speak, and it's too late to change it. We must live IN it and with it”
“Library. It's where we lock up all those books before they start giving kids ideas," I said solemnly. "Very dangerous place to be.”
“We must all hang together or we shall most assuredly all hang separately.”
