“Well…I only made a lumpy paperweight so far.” “I still have my very first paperweight.” “You do?” “I had to stand on a box to reach in with the punty rod. But I did everything myself. It resembled a squashed apple, but my parents were so proud of my creation I thought it was the best paperweight in the world.” “I guess I’ll keep mine.” “It’ll be a good gauge of how much you improve.

“As I’ve said, it wasn’t until a long time afterwards—long after I’d left the Cottages—that I realized just how significant out little encounter in the churchyard had been. I was upset at the time, yes. But I didn’t believe it to be anything so different from other tiffs we’d had. It never occurred to me that our lives, until then so closely interwoven could unravel and separate over a thing like that. But the fact was, I suppose, there were powerful tides tugging us apart by then, and it only needed something like that to finish the task. If we’d understood that back then—who knows?—maybe we’d have kept a tighter hold of one another.”

“Kadang aku merasa sudah dekat dengan kegilaan. Kamu tahu apa yang paling menyakitkan saat perasaanmu begitu terikat kepada seseorang? Bukan karena kamu tidak bisa menyatu dengan dia maka kamu akan merasa hidupmu begitu nestapa. Sesuatu yang lebih meluluhlantakkan hatimu adalah ketika seseorang -yang menyandera kemampuanmu untuk memiliki itu- tak melibatkan lagi namamu dalam hidupnya, tidak mengingat tanggal lahirmu, tidak mengucapkan apapun ketika datang tahun baru, bahkan tidak mengirimkan pesan basa-basi pada hari perayaan agamamu. Kamu tidak terlibat sama sekali dalam hidupnya. Bahkan sekadar untuk diingat.”
