“Hammer down protocol is a loss-loss solution.”

“The loss of memory isn't always the problem; sometimes--maybe even often--it's the solution.”

“Sunday just came down like a nine-pound hammer ... it was tainted with the closing-in feeling of the loss of freedom. Because after the sun went down, it came back up on Monday morning. And you had to go to work five more days. And it sucked.”

“The Greatest loss in life is the loss of a mother: The second greatest, the loss of Self.”

“Sometimes the opposite of loss is loss.”

“The long tentacles of vision and understanding have withdrawn and all that is left to me is the ragged black hole of my loss. Loss and the world around. A noisy puzzle whose solution is another puzzle noisier and more stupid. The circle widens toward nothing.The answer is hiding somewhere, if I could only read.”
