“I am amazed to see how deliberately I have entangled myself step by step. To have seen my position so clearly, and yet to have acted so like a child!”
“How clearly I have seen my condition, yet how childishly I have acted. How clearly I still see it, and yet show no sign of improvement.”
“Can't you see? Every step I have taken, since I was that child on the bridge, has been to bring myself closer to you. ”
“How could I, who loved life so intensely, have let myself be entangled for so long in that balderdash of books and paper blackened with ink!”
“I have three step brothers and one step sister. It’s like a staircase, and I am the slinky.”
“Sometimes I have the most amazing moments of clarity. Razor sharp, crystal clear. It's at these times I can see how fucking stupid I am.”
