“She, that witch Julie, brought sunshine into my shadows. She was a vessel of light that had sailed down from the highest stars. In those days, I had no idea that women were made from pain. Now pain is all I know. I play music all the time. This music transforms words into tears. Agony floats on this pool of sorrow. It defies the motion of the planets around the sun.”

“Lucy shook her head. ‘How can you say that love’s a crime?’ ‘Love was Satan’s deadliest gift to mankind. When Pandora opened her box, the first and greatest evil to fly out was love.’ ‘I don’t understand.’ ‘Love is the glue that keeps souls attached to this world, stuck in this hell. It mires us in misery. Love glitters and seduces. No one would endure one moment of this hell if they felt nothing but the pain. It’s the love that allows people to bear it. Love traps us, keeps us in the snares of the material world, this false world of the false god. Yet you, better than anyone, know that the underside of love is pain, the worst pain of all.’ Lucy looked away. Morson, in his mad way, was right. Love is poison. A beautiful poison, but poison all the same. The first taste might be paradise, but what followed was hell.”

“Closing her eyes again, she relived every moment they had spent together. Especially, she remembered his kisses – sometimes tender, sometimes passionate, always blazing with love. She loved him then and loved him still. She would always love him. It was the only true thing in her life. Even though the Committee had done everything to destroy her love, it had survived in her heart. Her love for John was the one thing she could be sure of, the only certainty amidst all the lies that had been force-fed to her for God knows how many years.”

“Pernahkah kamu berpikir bahwasannya manusia adalah makhluk yang cukup menyedihkan? Dengan kepalanya yang berencana untuk memiliki banyak hal, namun belum atau bahkan tidak pernah terwujud. Kemudian menyesal dan mengutuk dirinya sendiri karena memiliki terlalu banyak keterbatasan. Pada malam-malamnya, sebelum tidur, menyusun ulang daftar dari hal-hal yang ingin dipeluknya --setengah dari benda-benda di dunia yang tidak dimilikinya. Dan barangkali kau berada di antara deretan benda-benda tersebut: rumah besar, mobil mewah, pesawat, atau kapal pesiar. Sebagai separuh dari hal-hal di dunia yang tidak bisa dimiliki olehnya.”
