“What can and doesn't have to be always, at the end, surrenders to something that has to be.”

“Life always has an unhappy ending, but you can have a lot of fun along the way, and everything doesn't have to be dripping in deep significance.”

“But what is the heart, madame? It's worth less than people think. it's quite accommodating, it accepts anything. You give it whatever you have, it's not very particular. But the body... Ha!

“[...]No book can be really complete in this life; it has to end where the author's time and understanding end. There is always something left unsaid. I look forward to the life to come as the unending last chapter of all the good books I have ever read.”

“I always rip out the last page of a book, then it doesn't have to end. I hate endings.”

“Because what's the point of something virtual if it doesn't end up being real?”
