    Offence is so easily given. And where the 'minority' issue is involved, the rules seem to shift about: most of the time a person who is female/black/disabled/gay wants this not to be their defining characteristic; you are supposed to be blind to it.

    Любовният ужас е сладък и опиянителен, но той има качествата на всеки друг ужас. Той разяждаше, сломяваше неумолимо волята му. И все пак между двете възможности — да не бе срещал Елена в живота си и състоянието, в което се намираше сега предпочиташе втората. Дори по-късно той искаше да преживее още веднъж мъчителната напрегнатост на тия дни, наситени с възторзи и съмнения, с усещането на щастие, което бе непостижимо, на сенки, които никоя светлина не можеше да разпръсне.
