Quote by Meg Haston

“I believe, Stevie, that human beings...we're oriented toward health. Meaning, your body wants to heal. Your mind wants to heal. If you can get to a place where you let your mind and body do what they want to do, you will start to move toward health.”

“He turned over towards the light and lay gazing into the glass paperweight. The inexhaustibly interesting thing was not the fragment of coral but the interior of the glass itself. There was such a depth of it, and yet it was almost as transparent as air. It was as though the surface of the glass had been the arch of the sky, enclosing a tiny world with its atmosphere complete. He had the feeling that he could get inside it, and that in fact he was inside it, along with the mahogany bed and the gateleg table, and the clock and the steel engraving and the paperweight itself. The paperweight was the room he was in, and the coral was Julia's life and his own, fixed in a sort of eternity at the heart of the crystal.”

“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. When you become frustrated when a piece cracks or turns out wrong, you can look back at that paperweight and see just how far you’ve come.”

“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.”
