The Blue Room (1964)


"Could anyone see him from outside? He didn't care. Probably not, because the room must seem dark to those outdoors, and, as it was one floor up, only his torso might show." (10)

"... he was unsettled by the feelings they ascribed to him, no longer knowing how to tell the true from the false, wondering what separated right from wrong." (20)

"They weren't managing ... to use words that meant the same thing to them both, to place themselves on the same footing. They were always a little out of step with each other." (28)

"Are there really people who spend their lives looking at themselves in a mirror and asking themselves questions -- about themselves?" (52)

"They had their evening meal as usual: soup, a ham omelette, salad, a camembert and some apricots for dessert." (29)
