“Passion can’t sustain itself forever.”
“Crime is to the passions what nervous fluid is to life: it sustains them, it supplies their strength.”
“The object of the passion is just an accessory to the passion itself.”
“A meaningful relationship between two people cannot sustain itself only in the present tense.”
“... Clara was a teenage girl like any other; the object of her passion was only an accessory to the passion itself, a passion that through its long suppression was now asserting itself with volcanic necessity.”
“You can’t keep counting forever”
