"I dared not acknowledge him, as if by so doing I should be obliged to admit a responsibility of which silence might absolve me."
"I envy the table its scars, the scorch marks caused by the hot bread tins. I envy its calm sense of time, and I wish I could say: I did this five years ago [...] I envy the table's calm sense of place. It has been here a long time. It belongs."
"'Life is what you celebrate. All of it. Even its end.'"
"Small comforts in defiance of the dark."
