“How funny we are, I thought, the way we dance about each other, each afraid of being hurt by the other.”
“I looked at this man and thought: Oh, how we are going to hurt each other.”
“It is so exquisitely funny and sad, the way we view each other; how very little, despite our best efforts, we communicate.”
“It's funny. Maria Elena and I, we are meant for each other and not meant for each other, it's a contradiction.”
“How about we give each other everything we can and not blame each other for what we can’t.”
“We're all one thing, like cells in a body. 'Cept we can't see the body. The way fish can't see the ocean. And so we envy each other. Hurt each other. Hate each other. How silly is that? A heart cell hating a lung cell.”
