    EPIGRAPH: I no more wrote than read that book which is The self I am, half-hidden as it is From one and all who see within a kiss The longing formless backness of an abyss How could I think the brief years were enough To prove the reality of endless love?

    EPIGRAPH: Think of everything that has ever been said and everything that has ever been written, every book, every poem, every conversation, every scrap of paper, every encyclopaedia, in English, in Chinese, in French and Spanish and Italian and Russian and Korean and Arabic, in Swahili, in Farsi, and then think of your life. What are you next to all that? You’re like one half of a letter in one word; that’s your life, that is you front to back, up and down, over and out. But that doesn’t make what we say and do less important. It makes it more important.
    FROM: Willing, (2008), Novel, US
