• With respect to duels, indeed, I have my own ideas. Few things in this so surprising world strike me with more surprise. Two little visual spectra of men, hovering with insecure enough cohesion in the midst of the unfathomable, and to dissolve therein, at any rate, very soon, make pause at the distance of twelve paces asunder; whirl around, and simultaneously by the cunningest mechanism, explode one another into dissolution; and, offhand, become air, and non-extant--the little spitfires!

• My knowledge of pain, learned with the sabre, taught me not to be afraid. And just as in dueling when you must concentrate on your enemy's cheek, so, too, in war. You cannot waste time on feinting and sidestepping. You must decide on your target and go in.

• I wondered if that's what aging felt like. That desire and reality were dueling until the day you die, that nobody every got to a place of peace.

• Descubrí que la diferencia entre escuchar y fingir que se escucha es enorme. Una es fluida, la otra es rígida. Una está viva, la otra está disecada. Con el tiempo, descubrí una forma radical de concebir la escucha. Escuchar de verdad es estar dispuesto a dejar que la otra persona te cambie. Cuando estoy dispuesto a dejar que me cambien, sucede algo entre nosotros que es más interesante que un par de monólogos en duelo.
