“Il fallait que j'arrête mes efforts vains pour recevoir l'assentiment de mes parents... Même si les choses ne sont pas déroulées très bien par le passé, j'ai comme le sentiment qu'à partir de maintenant, ça devrait aller mieux. Comment je peux vivre ma propre vie si je me soucie trop d'être une fille modèle ?”

“For disguise the fact as we will, when friends,even the closest— perhaps the more because of that very closeness— meet again after a separation there is always a chill, lesser or greater, of change. Neither finds the other quite the same. This is natural and inevitable. Human nature is ever growing and retrogressive— never stationary. But still, with all our philosophy, who is if can repress a little feeling of bewildered disappointment when we realize that our friend is not and can never be just the same as before— even though the change may be by way of improvement?”

“I will cry because the process of raising you will have made me sentimental, and I will wrap my arms around you and marvel at how beautiful you are, how tall and strong and shining. And all of my memories of you will dance in front of my eyes as I thirstily listen to all that you have to say, laughing and holding my hands and leaning on my shoulder, or perhaps putting your head in my lap the way you would do as a child. And then it is time for you to leave me again, to go back to your own life, humming with aspiration. You don't have to worry about me - I will be the happiest I have ever been, even as my heart breaks a little to let go of you.”

“Non muoio finché non sarai diventato un uomo". Quindi era questo che volevi dire? E' questo il passaggio? Rimani lo stesso in balia della tempesta. Come prima. Continui a prendere schiaffi e onde in faccia. A sputare acqua e ad asciugarti col vento. Ma a forza di acqua e di vento. A forza di erosione. Impari a percepirti anche tu in modo diverso. A pensare di poter essere non solo un abitante della vallata... Ma onda dopo onda... errore dopo errore... pure il monte di qualcun altro.”
