She smiled, a moving childish smile that was like all the lost youth in the world.

I hope I haven't given you the impression that I consider kissing intrinsically irrational.

I love this simply because it's cute, and I guess it's a sign of the times in many respect. It's pretty much saying you complete me, only in the sweetest way possible.

She was a faded but still lovely woman of twenty-seven.

How I feel is that if I wanted anything I'd take it. That's what I've always thought all my life. But it happens that I want you, and so I just haven't room for any other desires.

One hurries through, even though there's time; the past, the continent, is behind; the future is the glowing mouth in the side of the ship; the dim, turbulent alley is too confusedly the present.

To a profound pessimist about life, being in danger is not depressing.
