“But even that was a memorable event in the locked loneliness in which one had to live.”

“For a second, two seconds, they had exchanged an equivocal glance, and that was the end of the story. But even that was a memorable event, in the locked loneliness in which one had to live.”

“Locked into loneliness were we two and looking at one another every evening we each saw the one we blamed for it.”

“The morning, which is the most memorable season of the day, is the awakening hour. Then there is least somnolence in us; and for an hour, at least, some part of us awakes which slumbers all the rest of the day and night... All memorable events, I should say, transpire in morning time and in a morning atmosphere. The Vedas say, “All intelligences awake with the morning.”

“I had made the vital realisation that my life was a series of events in which one merely had to keep on putting one foot in front of the other”

“Life is actually a series of encounters in which one event may change those that follow in a wholly unpredictable, even devastating way.”
