• Love leaped out in front of us like a murderer in an alley leaping out of nowhere, and struck us both at once. As lightning strikes, as a Finnish knife strikes! She, by the way, insisted afterwards that it wasn't so, that we had, of course, loved each other for a long, long time, without knowing each other, never having seen each other.

• I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it’s wrong what they say about the past, I’ve learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years.

• It was November--the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines. Anne roamed through the pineland alleys in the park and, as she said, let that great sweeping wind blow the fogs out of her soul.

• That moment - to this ... may be years in the way they measure, but it's only one sentence back in my mind - there are so many days when living stops and pulls up and sits and waits like a train on the rails. I pass the hotel at 8 and at 5; there are cats in the alleys and bottles and bums, and I look up at the window and think, I no longer know where you are, and I walk on and wonder where the living goes when it stops.

• La mayoría de las naves hacen un guiño, aunque sea breve y poco amistoso, a la belleza. Las naves vogonas no asienten ante la belleza. Se ponían pasamontañas y asaltaban a la belleza en un callejón oscuro. Escupían a los ojos de la belleza y aporreaban su espera a través de las nociones de estética y aerodinámica. Los cruceros vogones no viajaban por el espacio, sino que lo profanaban y lo arrojaban a un lado.

• Where would you like to go, what would you really like to do with your life? See Istanbul, Port Said, Nairobi, Budapest. Write a book. Smoke too many cigarettes. Fall off a cliff but get caught in a tree halfway down. Get shot at a few times in a dark alley on a Morrocan midnight. Love a beautiful woman.

• As the carriage whipped forward, they passed the alley she had spent so many days staring at—it was there, and then gone as they careened around a corner, nearly knocking over a costermonger pushing a donkey cart piled high with new potatoes. Tessa screamed. Will reached past her and yanked the curtain shut. "It's better if you don't look," he told her pleasantly. "He's going to kill someone. Or get us killed." "No, he won't. Thomas is an excellent driver." Tessa glared at him. "Clearly the word excellent means something else on this side of the Atlantic.

• I loved the idea of a girl going into a dark alley, and a monster comes, and then she just aces him. It’s like, you want to see the tiny person suddenly take control. God, my whole career is basically about that!

• I heard someone walk out of the alley behind me, and my body went tense and tight, despite my weariness.  Then a young woman's voice said, in a passable British accent, "The Little People are easily startled, but they'll soon be back.  And in greater numbers."     I sagged in sudden, exhausted relief.  The bad guys hardly ever quote Star Wars.

• Love isn't always magic. But if I offered my body to the magician, if I told him to cut me in half so after that I could come to you whole and ask for you back would you listen for this dark alley love song? For the winter we heated our home from the steam off our own bodies?

• Si tenemos en cuenta que cada uno de nosotros sólo tiene una vida por delante, ¿no es más bien trágico encontrar hombres y mujeres, con cerebros capaces de comprender las estrellas y los planetas, hablando del tiempo; hombres y mujeres, con manos capaces de crear obras de arte, utilizando esas manos sólo para tareas rutinarias; hombres y mujeres, capaces de pensamiento independiente, utilizando sus mentes como bolera de ideas populares; hombres y mujeres, capaces de grandeza, revolcándose en la mediocridad; hombres y mujeres, capaces de autoexpresión, muriendo lentamente de muerte mental mientras balbucean el confuso monótono de la plebe?

• A lover knows only humility, he has no choice. He steals into your alley at night, he has no choice. He longs to kiss every lock of your hair, don't fret, he has no choice. In his frenzied love for you, he longs to break the chains of his imprisonment, he has no choice.

  Rumi

• En la mayoría de los casos, la mejor estrategia para una entrevista de trabajo es ser bastante sincero, porque lo peor que puede pasar es que no consigas el trabajo y te pases el resto de tu vida buscando comida en el desierto y buscando refugio debajo de un árbol o del toldo de una bolera que haya quebrado.

• La vida no es un pasillo recto y fácil por el que viajamos libres y sin obstáculos, sino un laberinto de pasadizos, a través de los cuales debemos buscar nuestro camino, perdidos y confusos, de vez en cuando metidos en un callejón sin salida. Pero siempre, si tenemos fe, se nos abrirá una puerta, quizá no una que nosotros mismos hubiéramos imaginado, pero que al final nos hará bien...

• I've been asked if I'd consider doing Ropes as a straight novel - which is flattering, I suppose - but I can't imagine why I'd want to limit myself that way. There's a certain immediacy we gain from that specific image of Fred being struck by a revelation, of those union workers appearing from the shadows in an alley, of a lonely woman wondering for just a moment if she should make a pass at this young man in her hotel room
