“I'm not living with you. We occupy the same cage. (Maggie)”
“Each day we stood almost shoulder to shoulder, occupying the same space, breathing the same air, but we remained strangers.”
“Gran, I'm only gonna ask this once. Please don't have sex talks with me, ok? Especially with Maggie in the room. Do you think we could do that?”
“Sorry, Maggie, but I'm not into bondage. Even the subconscious kind.”
“Joshua, my memory of Maggie isn't about what happened the night before we left. I didn't go to see her thinking that we would make love. A kiss was more than I expected. I think of Maggie because I made a place in my heart for her to live, and it's empty. It always will be. It always was. She loved you.”
“Many people nowadays live in a series of interiors...disconnected from each other. On foot everything stays connected, for while walking one occupies the spaces between those interiors in the same way one occupies those interiors. One lives in the whole world rather than in interiors built up against it.”
