Quote 1

To find a doorway out of her ruined heart in merciful adultery. (15.66)

Quote 2

"Well, that person who did it had built something underground, a hole, and then I confess I began to worry about it and detail it the way I did the dollhouses, and I gave it a chimney and a shelf, and, well, that's just my habit." (15.38)
