“I think about my sister, Becca, a lot.  We didn’t always agree about things, but she was always there for me when I needed her.  I thought she would outlive me, that she would always be here.”

“I hope you read this, whoever you are, and imagine that there is a hypothetical person out there who needs your love, has been waiting silently, patiently for it all his life, is flawed and downright ugly at times and yet would have just eaten up any tiny bit of affection you had been willing to give, had you ever stopped your own happy life to notice. And then imagine that this hypothetical person is real, because he probably is.... Wish I’d met you. Wish I wasn’t your hypothetical. But you’re reading this, which means a few minutes ago, I went into that bathroom and pulled the trigger. You probably heard it. Sorry. You’re welcome. Thank you. And please. Please, please, please, please, please, please, please.”

“Presi l'abitudine di andare a passeggiare spesso intorno alla tenuta dei Driscoll, specie in primavera, per osservare le suore che vagavano beate tra gli alberi in fiore - dove Myra un tempo dava le sue feste, con la banda che suonava per lei. Mi sembrava che quel luogo fosse rimasto vittima di un incantesimo, come il castello della Bella Addormentata; steso tra quei fiori come un bel cadavere, era caduto in un sonno profondo, da quella notte d'inverno in cui l'Amore era uscito dal cancello per sfidare il Destino. Da allora soltanto canti, orazioni e disciplina - e il tintinnio delle campane, che pareva chiamare le sorelle in eterna preghiera.”

“Non siamo noi ad abbandonare i luoghi, sono loro che abbandonano noi. Nel senso che, appena pensiamo a malincuore di partire, non ci trattengono per le radici, ma ci lasciano andare altrove, spesso ci costringono. E quando ci accorgiamo dell'inganno è troppo tardi per ritornare sui nostri passi. Chi si illude del contrario non ha capito nulla dell'anima dei luoghi, che sa essere accogliente come il nido di un passero e subdola come la ginestra spinosa: cosa te ne fai del suo profumo se ti punge a sangue?”

“I know it's selfish of me to even think of sayin this. You deserve a guy who'll... pluck the stars from the sky and lay 'em at yer feet. I'm the kinda guy who'd step on 'em on my way out the door. I ain't got nuthin to offer you. He takes my hands in his. I jest want you to know that... How I feel about you ain't changed. No. That ain't true. It has changed. It's grown stronger. He touches my face. You run deep in me Saba.”

“Lugh got born first. On Midwinter Day when the sun hangs low in the sky. Then me. Two hours later. That pretty much says it all. Lugh goes first, always first, an I follow on Behind. An that's fine. That's right. That's how it's meant to be. Because everthin'set. It's all fixed. The lives of everybody who's bin born. The lives of everybody still waitin'to be born. It was all set in the stars the moment the world began. The time of yer birthin, the time of yer death. Even what kinda person yer gonna be, good or bad. If you know how to read the stars, you can read the story of peoples'lives. The story of yer own life. What's gone, what's now an what's still to come. Back when Pa was a boy, he met up with a traveler, a man who knew many things. He learned Pa to read the stars. Panever says what he sees in the night sky but you can see it lays heavy on him. Because you cain't change what's written. Even if Pa was to say what he knew, even if he was to warn you, it would still come to pass. I see the way he looks at Lugh sometimes. The way he looks at me. An I wish he'd tell us what he knows. I believe Pa wishes he'd never met that traveler. If you seen me an Lugh togather, you'd never think we was the same blood. Never think we grew togather in the same womb. He's got gold hair. I got black. Blue eyes. Brown eyes. Strong. Scranwy. Beautiful. Ugly. He's my light. I'm his shadow. Lugh shines like the sun. That must of made it east fer them to find him. All they had to do was follow his light.”
