“They are between. Not what they used to be, and not what they have become. In those times, they are nothing. And I am invisible, and I am nothing too. That is the true demimonde, Lucien, and the secret is, it is not always desperate and dark. Sometimes it is just nothing. No burden of potential or regret. There are worse things than being nothing, my friend.”
“I can be nothing worse and nothing better than who I am...Elly.”
“I am ready for whatever's coming. I expect nothing but to be let down or turned away. I am alone. Goddamn. The shit hurts sometimes, but I realize what I am, what I have become.”
“I am one of those people who thrive on deadlines. Nothing brings on inspiration more readily than desperation.”
“There is nothing heavier than the burden of potential”
“It’s dark now and I am very tired. I love you, always. Time is nothing.”
