some lines from THE PRICE OF SALT (aka CAROL)

( p. 68)
'(...) So you want to fall in love? You'll probably will soon, and if you do, enjoy it, it's harder later on'
'To love someone?'
'To fall in love.'

*-*-*

(p. 140)
'Lines', Carol said. ' I can't compete. People talk of classics. These lines are classic. A hundred different people will say the same words. There are lines from the mother, lines from the daughter, for the husband and the lover. I'd rather see you dead at my feet. It's the same play repeated with different casts.'

*-*-*

(p. 247)
'I love you', Carol said.
Therese opened her eyes, but she did not look up.
'I know you don't feel the same about me. Do you?'
Therese had an impulse to deny it, but could she? She didn't feel the same. 'I don't know, Carol.'
'That's the same thing.'

*-*-*

(p. 257)
(...) and Therese smiled because the gesture was Carol, and it was Carol she loved and would always love. Oh, in a different way now, because she was a different person, and it was like meeting Carol all over again, but it was still Carol and no one else.
