“Ένα καλοκαίρι στην παραλία, όταν ήμουν δέκα ή έντεκα χρονών, είχα εξ’ αποστάσεως λατρέψει μια συνομήλικη μου καστανόξανθη καλλονή – υπάρχει, όμως, κανείς που, μες στη μελένια αχλή της παιδικής ηλικίας να μη λάτρεψε στην παραλία μια καστανόξανθη καλλονή;”

“If people think you like them, Charlotte said, well, it can go either way. There's a lot of powerplay in liking and being liked. Such a powerful connection, it's a chance to make the world bigger for someone else. Or smaller. That's always a chance we've got.”
