Turning Point

That He Existed

         He loved posessions, not masses of them, but a select few of them which he did not part with. They gave a man self-respect. Not ostentation but quality, and the love that cherished the quality. Posessions reminded him that he existed, and made him enjoy his existence. It was as simple as that.

Broad Sunlight

        Highsmith had the coldest of eyes, and she reserved her empathy precisely for a character who feels entitled to deceive or destroy anyone who gets in the way of his sincere desire to become the person he was meant to be.
