Mark Helprin Quote

What, exactly, are you talking about? I'm talking about love. I'm unconvinced. I wasn't attempting to convince you. I'm now sufficiently tranquil not to have to convince anyone of anything. Will you be tranquil in front of the firing squad? I don't know. We'll see tomorrow. You'll be able to watch from the window. Alessandro winked at Ludovico, to show him that he was undisturbed. The way you winked, Ludovico said accusingly, the way you winked at me was just like a religious fanatic. Sorry, Alessandro said. I'll try to wink like a Marxist.
