Quotes from Ronan Bennett

We start out in these things from the same places, the fast and the slow. We pass along the same stages: excitement, enchantment, dispute, anger, reconciliation, love. And the end of love. We pass these same stages, unevenly paced, until at last, everything exhausted, we arrive at a place marked I just don't care anymore.

Since I am never alone with myself. Since I am always watching the character playing my part in the scene, there is no possibility of spontaneity.
