Quote by Taylor Jenkins Reid

“That goddamn restaurant had claimed her from the day she was born and now she understood that she would never outrun it. /June rested against the hood of the car, crossed her arms, and continued smoking, taking stock of the new shape of her life. She was overworked and overtired and lonely. She missed the parents who had never truly understood her, missed the man who had never truly loved her, missed the future she thought she had been building for herself, missed the young girl she used to be.”

“So this nostalgia is, what, an echo of a happiness? Or a long-delayed one? Is it an outline of one, from trying to remember a happiness I knew I should have felt in the moment but that most likely wasn't really there? Or, maybe nostalgia is to feel happiness about something that is over because it is over. That in order to feel happy about it, it must be something that you can't go back to and affect, that you can't mess up from where you are now, but also, that you can't really feel at all.”

“¿Cómo le explica el abuelo al nieto lo que era el Tango, el salir a encararse una mina y bailar con ella en un local porteño, mientras sonaba la orquesta de fondo? ¿Cómo le dice el padre al hijo lo que era la sensación de sacar un vinilo de la funda, y hacerlo sonar por primera vez? ¿Cómo le hace entender el hermano mayor al menor, lo que sentíamos al abrir y oler la caja de ese CD nuevo? No lo sé, realmente no lo sé. No sé cómo explicarle a alguien que las tres sensaciones recién descritas, nada tiene que ver con lo que se siente al reproducir o descargar un archivo de audio. Tampoco sé cómo explicarle a ellos.”
