“I suppose I was dying again, so I asked the Lord of Permanent Affection for the strength to live the day. Clearly, the answer came in the affirmative.""I didn't know there was such a Fellow," Buttercup said."Neither did I, in truth, but if He didn't exist, I didn't much want to either.”

“He never lied to me. I just didn't ask the questions I didn't want to know the answers to.”

“The boy I loved didn't know I existed. Then again, he was obsessed with Camus, so he didn't know if any of us existed.”

“A man came up to me the other day and said he hadn't had a bite in weeks. So you know what I did? I walked by him like he didn't even exist.”

“I saw that she didn't want to answer that question and so I asked again: when mouths close it's because there's something important to be said.”

“...he didn't know where I lived, because I think he feared, in his heart of hearts, that I didn't trust him, that my work had slowly eroded the love for him which I felt.But I did trust him...I did love him. I didn't love anyone in the world but him. I just didn't want anyone to know where I lived.”
