"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer."
"I was within and without, simultaneously enchanted and repelled by the inexhaustible variety of life."
"You see I usually find myself among strangers because I drift here and there trying to forget the sad things that happened to me."
"And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy."
"There are only the pursued, the pursuing, the busy and the tired."
"Life is much more successfully looked at from a single window."
