“Over 15 years ago we pledged our Sisterhood. And promised we would always be there for each other. Today, we renew that commitment. Diane continued. To accept each other with all our flaws. Give encouragement and hope support each other through the laughter and tears. To listen with an attentive ear and kick each other's butts into gear when needed. And to celebrate the beauty and joy of this bond. Forever. [...] This is not goodbye. Just see you later. Until we meet again. To friendship, sisterhood, and living life with no reservations. The sun was sitting on this chapter of their lives but tomorrow the sun would rise again and bring new life.”

“Dear Robert, Often as I lie awake I wonder if you are also lying awake. Are you in pain or feeling alone? You drew me from the darkest period of my young life, sharing with me the sacred mystery of what it is to be an artist. I learned to see through you and never compose a line or draw a curve that does not come from the knowledge I derived from our precious time together. Your work, coming from a fluid source, can be traced to the naked song of your youth. You spoke then of holding hands with God. Remember, through everything, you have always held that hand, grip it hard, Robert, and don't let go. The other afternoon, when you fell asleep on my shoulder, I drifted off, too. But before I did, it occurred to me looking around at all of your things and your work and going through years of work in my mind, that of all your work, you are still your most beautiful. The most beautiful work of all.”

“एक खूबसूरत अहसास था। एक दोस्त। जिंदगी में पहला मर्द दोस्त। मर्द कहने में परेशानी लगती थी। लेकिन हकीकत यही थी। वह मर्द था लेकिन फिर भी अपने हाथों दोस्त बना लिया गया था। उसका होना मुझे सहेजने लगा था। उसके होते यह ख्वाहिश होती थी कि उससे उलझा जाए। उसके न होने पर अफसोस भी होता झगड़े का, हँसी भी आती और फिर से झगड़ने का बहाना भी वहीं से हाथ आता। उसके होने पर मैं उसकी हर बात को काटती और उसके न होने पर हर बात को जोड़ती। उसके होने पर मैं उसके पहले न होने की वजह पूछती और उसके न होने पर, उसके तब होने को परखती। उसके होने पर मैं बच्ची बन जाती और उसके न होने पर उसकी माँ बन जाती।”

“Extraño eso de no deberse más que a sí mismo siempre y  todo el tiempo y a las amigas y a los amigos. Porque en la amistad,  claro, todo siempre es mucho más prístino y cristalino y bienintencionado ya que el contrato, el acuerdo, se renegocia cada vez, se  restablece. En la amistad no hay acuerdos que valgan por años y  nada está dado por sentado; añoro ese tipo de unión.”
