“I’m a believer in the single-bullet theory. You can fall in love and make love many times but there is only one bullet with your name etched on the side. And if you are lucky enough to be shot with that bullet then the wound never heals.Roy Lindell might have had Martha Gessler’s name on a bullet. What I do know is that Eleanor Wish had been my bullet. She had pierced me through and through. There were other women before and other women since but the wound she left would not heal right. I was still bleeding and I knew I would always bleed for her. That was just the way it had to be. There is no end of things in the heart.”

Io credo nella teoria dell’unico proiettile. Ci si può innamorare molte volte, ma c’è un unico proiettile con inciso un nome. E se sei abbastanza fortunato da venire colpito da quell’unico proiettile, puoi star certo che la ferita non guarirà più.
