“Las promesas que le había susurrado en la cueva regresaron de repente a sus oídos con tanta claridad como si las estuviera oyendo de nuevo. «Cuando pronuncie tu nombre después de la lluvia tendrá una sonoridad especial —le había dicho—, como si todos estos años hubiera anidado entre mis labios esperando a ser proclamado en voz alta.» Ahora sabía que no había sido más que un sueño: se había equivocado al decirle que la tormenta no duraría para siempre.”

“A memory comes up and you brace yourself. What will it be? Something that makes you cry? So what if it makes you cry? Why do you judge your tears? That’s another lie that someone told you. That tears are bad. That tears are a sign of weakness. Tears are a sign of life and love and like the spring rains that wash away the harshness of winter they nourish and clear the way for regeneration. Tears are a part of life. Sadness and sorrow are a part of life. Are you willing to cut off the life we shared together simply because you do not want to feel your sorrow or the wet tears upon your face?”

“You know how good-byes feel. How the air gets excited when all its ions and electrical charges are disrupted, first by the intent to leave and later by the leaving itself. Then, when the bodies move away through space, they create empty pockets where feelings get caught and eddy around in the vacuum, creating little vortices of relief or sadness or confusion.”

“বুকের মধ্যে রাগ বিরক্তি দুঃখ জমাট বেঁধে গেলে মানুষ তা একা একা বয়ে বেড়াতে পারে, কিন্তু খুশির চাপ বড় অসহ্য। খুশিটাকে কারুর কাছে উজাড় করে না দিতে পারা পর্যন্ত কেমন যেন শান্তি হয় না।”
