“I dreamed I was a single moment in a single day. A note struck and vanished. A sounding. A reckoning. Gone.”
“Every single day I have missed you. I grieve for the moments we have had together and I long for the moments we will never have.”
“I would rather write 10,000 notes than a single letter of the alphabet.”
“This is what I want. This is the only thing I've ever wanted. Everything else—every single second of every single day that has come before this very moment, this kiss—has meant nothing.”
“. . .my dreams are the single unpredictable factor in my zoned days and nights. Nobody allots them, or censors them. Dreams are all I have ever truly owned.”
“I am reading six books at once, the only way of reading; since, as you will agree, one book is only a single unaccompanied note, and to get the full sound, one needs ten others at the same time.”
