From Hotel Du Lac, by Anita Brookner
IT IS
"'It is simply this. Without a huge emotional investment, one can do whatever one pleases. One can take decisions, change one's mind, alter one's plans. There is none of the anxiety of waiting to see if that one other person has everything she desires, if she is discontented,n upset, restless, bored. One can be as pleasant or as ruthless as one wants.'"
From Chapter Seven
