"..this indiscriminate love feels entirely serious to her,……" — Michael Cunningham
"..this indiscriminate love feels entirely serious to her, as if everything in the world is part of a vast, inscrutable intention and everything in the world has its own secret name, a name that cannot be conveyed in language but is simply the sight and feel of the thing itself."
