“God have pity on the smell of gasolinewhich finds its way like an armthrough a car window,more human than kerosene,more unctuous, more manly.”
“It goes without saying that you should never have more children than you have car windows”
“For the sense of smell, almost more than any other, has the power to recall memories and it's a pity we use it so little.”
“Was there any human urge more pitiful-or more intense- than wanting another chance at something?”
“If the blind put their hands in God's, they find their way more surely than those who see but have not faith or purpose. ”
“It's a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one's life and to find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than "try to be a little kinder.”
