believe that the whole
world is an enigma; a
harmless enigma that is
made terrible by our own
mad attempt to interpret it
as though it had an
underlying truth.”

Anyone who has spent time in Paris will recognize the neighborhoods and the monuments scattered about the novel like furniture in a room where a wild drama is being lived. Those unfamiliar with the city will learn its textures from the flesh to the marrow. One becomes a Parisian reading this book.

ModeRoom Books “It’s not that we have to quit this life one day, but it’s how many things we have to quit all at once: music, holding hands, the physics of falling leaves, jasmine and poppies, laughter, rain, the concept of subway trains… if only one could leave this life slowly.” - Roman Payne (ModeRoom Author [from his new novel, Rooftop Soliloquy])

Karen regarding today's Roman Payne quote on google. Be careful what you ask for, Roman. Indeed, there are many ways of leaving this life very, very slowly. Most of them horrifying. I am aware this quote was taken out of context so, in all probability, it is not as naive as it sounds.
