“The job required the luxurious useless indoor fortitude it has always been my fortune to enjoy.”
“I don't know whether my life has been useless and merely a misunderstanding, or whether it has a meaning.”
“Contemplation is a luxury, requiring time and alternatives.”
“The night belongs to beasts of prey, and always has. It's easy to forget that when you're indoors, protected by light and solid walls.”
“I'll take my clothes off - whatever the job requires.”
“…determined to enjoy her luxury of grief uncomforted.”
