Quotations:
"Do you think, Lilly, we're the world? said Robert ironically. "Oh, yes, I guess w're shipwrecked in this box, like Robinson Crusoes. And what we do on our own little island matters to us alone. As for the infinite crowds of howling savages outside there in the unspeakable, all you've got to do is mind they don't scrap you."
When you love, your soul breathes in - when your soul breathes out, it's bloody revolution.
A man should remain himself, not try to spread himself over humanity. He should pivot himself on his own pride.
Love was a battle in which each party strove for the mastery of the other's soul. So far, man had yielded the mastery to woman. Now he was fighting for it back again. And too late, for the woman would never yield.
Like the Invisible Man, we are only revealed through our clothes and our masks.
Give thyself, but give thyself not away. That is the lesson written at the end of the long strange lane of love.
