Quotes 

• Moray : [stridently]  When I was your age I *was* building the Paradise. But not only because I had the ideas, but because I had gone out into the world and begged and borrowed and brow-beat my way into the kind of financial backing that turns ideas into reality. That is not something I see in you.

  Denise : Because if I walked into a bank seeking financial backing, they would assume I'd come to sell my services as a cleaner - or perhaps just to sell myself. I do not even know that a woman would be allowed through the doors. It is different for me. But not because *I* am different, but because the world treats me so. Can you not see that?

  Moray : I would not want you to become another version of what I am. Of *who* I am.

  Denise : Oh, John. That is where we differ.

• Denise : Did you imagine that I would fail?

  Moray : Everyone fails. That is how we learn, by making mistakes. Most of us do so privately. You do not have that luxury. You're too visible, too known. Your association with me is a public secret.
