“It’s not that I’m particularly worried about growing old. Nor am I all that bothered about wrinkles, grey hair and all that. BUT. Major but. I don’t like the idea of dying – not when i have so much left to do! That, people, is the rather unwelcome realisation that strikes me now and then, namely that the number of years ahead of me are fewer than the ones behind me, and while I have ticked off a lot of items on that mental list of mine, there are so many things left. Like riding through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in my hair, to mention one.”

She still wasn't sleeping well, but perhaps what I was seeing was just age, a gradual shift that I'd failed to register. I sometimes felt the urge to study recent photographs of her in order to locate the exact point in time when she had come to look so weary.”

“((من همواره دلباخته ش شادکامی بوده ام. وقتی بچه بودم، بعضی روزها چنان لبریز می شدم که بی اختیار بازوان را از هم می گشودم و پا به دویدن می گذاشتم و دلم می خواست نعره بزنم، بس است: بس است! بس است! نمی توانم این همه شادی را برای خودم نگاه دارم. باید آن را با دیگری قسمت کنم!))”
