• Now the Fates are here on the beach, three shadows blacker than black, walking through the dunes and looking for their own.

• There's something to be said for useless
  days. You know, those days when you
  have nothing to do and all day to do it ...
  Trust me, a beach and a bottomless drink
  may not cure the world's problems but it
  can really get your head in the right place.
  Those are my favorite kind of days.

• I often remember in this false, distorted way, and the memories are often cloaked in the colour of the sun. Sometimes I feel nostalgia for things I knew I hated when they were happening, for days spent at the beach or the swimming pool with my sisters.
  When I pick my memories apart, I realise my mind has merely played back the objective ingredients, the clichéd apparatus of happiness, the sun, the sound of splashing water, ice-cream on parched lips and cold fizzy drink on a hot tongue, and laugher too. My memory often peddles on the falsehood of past happiness. I should know this.
