The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight Quotes

“Molti ritengono i libri un modo per evadere dalla realtà, ma quello che lei stringe in mano è ben di più: un'autentica àncora di salvezza. Appena comincia a sfogliare le prime pagine, tutto il resto scompare: lo sfarfallio di gomiti e borse, la donna con il camicione che si rosicchia le unghie, le due ragazzine che ascoltano musica a tutto volume con gli auricolari e persino il tizio che strimpella il violino in fondo al convoglio diffondendo una stridula melodia. / Nonostante gli scossoni del treno, il suo sguardo si concentra sulla pagina allo stesso modo in cui un pattinatore fissa un punto di riferimento per eseguire una piroetta. Quel libro è il punto di riferimento che la tiene ancorata a terra.”

“That they were left with only this--this awkward, prearranged meet-up, this terrible silence--seemed almost more than she could bear, and the unfairness of it all welled up inside of her. It was his fault, all of it, and yet her hatred for him was the worst kind of love, a tortured longing, a misguided wish that made her heart hammer in her chest. She couldn't ignore the disjointed sensation that they were now two different pieces of two different puzzles, and nothing in the world could make them fit together again.”

“Now Hadley presses her forehead against the window of the taxi and once again finds herself smiling at the thought of him. He's like a song she can't get out of her head. Hard as she tries, the melody of their meeting runs through her mind on an endless loop, each time as surprisingly sweet as the last, like a lullaby, like a hymn, and she doesn't think she could ever get tired of hearing it.”

“Hadley grabs the laminated safety instructions from the seat pocket in front of her and frowns at the cartoon men and women who seem weirdly delighted to be bailing out of a series of cartoon planes. Beside her, Oliver stifles a laugh, and she glances up again. "What?" "I've just never seen anyone actually read one of those things before." "Well," she says, "then you're very lucky to be sitting next to me.”
