Haven’t you been listening, people don’t bother to hurt what they don’t love. To sacrifice it.

it’s like asking for directions, it’s one thing for a bloke to admit he doesn’t know something but acknowledging that someone else does know is a step too far.

Dad and the Prof were talking about fighting, the way men do when they’re really fighting about talking.

It would have been a skill to learn like any other, the art of taking someone into the flickering moment between life and death and holding them there, gone and yet speaking, moving still, for as long as you liked.
