"what a terrible mistake to let go of something wonderful for something real."
"i looked at other couples and wondered how they could be so calm about it. they held hands as if they weren't even holding hands. when steve and i held hands, i had to keep looking down to marvel at it. there was my hand, the same hand i've always had - oh, but look! what is it holding? it's holding steve's hand! who is steve? my three-dimensional boyfriend. each day i wondered what would happen next. what happens when you stop wanting, when you are happy. i supposed i would go on being happy forever. i knew i would not mess things up by growing bored. i had done that once before."
"i wondered if i would spend the rest of my life inventing complicated ways to depress myself."
"inelegantly, and without my consent, time passed."
