- "A story is like a letter. Dear you, I'll say. Just you, without a name. Attaching a name attaches you to a world of fact, which is riskier, more hazardous: who knows what the chances are out there, of survival, yours? I will say you, you, like an old love song. You can mean more than one. You can mean thousands."
- "How easy it is to invent a humanity, for anyone at all."
- "Sometimes she would cry. I was so lonely, she'd say. You have no idea how lonely I was. And I had friends, I was a lucky one, but I was lonely anyway."
