“Even when I don't have to write, I arrange it every morning with the pointless rigor that has made me lose so many lovers.”
“I think it was the right move, but if I can be allowed a mediocre generalization, don't pointless things have a place, too, in this far-from-perfect world? Remove everything pointless from an imperfect life, and it'd lose even its imperfection.”
“I have to convince myself that this is not a pointless life, even the body is telling me so.”
“I have become a great many things since you made me your lover.”
“It is pointless to say that this or that night was the worst of my life. I have so many bad nights to choose from that I've made none the champion.”
“It would have been so pointless to kill himself that, even if he had wanted to, the pointlessness would have made him unable.”
