“Dying is not romantic, and death is not a game which will soon be over... Death
is not anything ... death is not... It's the absence of presence, nothing more ... the endless time of never coming

“The fact of it is nothing to do with seeing it happen—it’s not gasps and blood and falling about—that isn’t what makes it death. It’s just a man failing to reappear, that’s all—now you see him, now you don’t, that’s the only thing that’s real: here one minute and gone the next and never coming back—an exist, unobtrusive and unannounced, a disappearance gathering weight as it goes on, until, finally, it is heavy with death.”

“На первый взгляд это (крикетная бита) – обыкновенная палка. Однако сделана она из особых сортов древесины. И куски склеены хитроумным способом – чтобы бита пружинила. И вот ты бьешь по шару. Попал точно – шар свистит пулей, далеко-далеко, а ведь ударяешь несильно. Мы стараемся писать так, как мастерят крикетные биты: чтобы слова пружинили и мысль не увязала. Легкий удар – и летит вперед! А это – просто дубина, её приспособили под биту. Формой слегка напоминает, но ударь ей по шару – он и десяти шагов не пролетит. А ты заодно и руки отобьешь. … Эта штука (бита) лучше не потому, что так кто-то сказал, и не потому, что профессионалы сговорились не пускать на поле новичков с дубинами. Она сама по себе лучше.”
