“The sun is gone down, And the moon's in the sky; But the sun will come up, And the mood be laid by. The flower is asleep, But it is not dead; When the morning shines, It will lift its head. When winter comes, It will die -- no, no; It will only hide From the frost and the snow. Sure is the summer, Sure is the sun; The night and the winter Are shadows that run.”

“He opened his laptop and showed me a picture of a “cozy” Greenwich Village apartment he’d found online. My dad, a born New Yorker, had told me stories of the Village, a lively network of cobblestone streets and jazz dives, coffee houses and folk clubs with no cover fee—and I felt a surge of light-headed ambition. “Though it’s kind of strange,” Justin continued, “there is no bathroom inside. Our toilet would be down a public hallway.”

“The internat had taught her well: as soon as you want something, you lack it; and if you do get it, it can easily be taken away. But this lesson came at a cost—a dry unfeeling clump had formed in her chest, had grown with age. She wonders now: If she slit her skin open, would nothing but sawdust spill out?”

After I got over the initial shock of his deception, my lips twist into an awkward smile. "So, the other night---" "I just placed my iPhone by the vent---" "She's a really good actress," I say with a snort. "Really good.”

“後來他亦住進了一迷宮大樓，朋友介紹的住處，公寓五、六樓改建成十三個雅房，曲折的走道連接這些房間，公用衛浴，走道變置物間，月租三千到四千，每個房子配置都一樣，只是方位與大小略有差別。不到三坪的房間，窗戶裝有抽風機一台，有對外窗的四千，沒對外窗三千，單人木板床，牆上有一排掛衣桿，頭頂有日光燈，其他自備。包水電，但沒冷氣，沒網路。他猜想，監獄也大致是這格局吧，只差沒有放風用的運動場。”
