“If the future was so vague it meant perhaps that she was destined never to see it.”

“There was a warmth of fury in his last phrases. He meant she loved him more than he her. Perhaps he could not love her. Perhaps she had not in herself that which he wanted. It was the deepest motive of her soul, this self-mistrust. It was so deep she dared neither realise nor acknowledge. Perhaps she was deficient. Like an infinitely subtle shame, it kept her always back. If it were so, she would do without him. She would never let herself want him. She would merely see.”

“I see it in your eyes as I see it in hers. Remember, there is always light where there is love and if that is what is meant to happen between the two of you, then it was destined.”

“One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.”

“I had come to regard him as a loner with no real past and a future so vague that there was no sense talking about it.”

“It was the beginning of the end.Or perhaps, it was only the end of something that was never meant to begin.”
