“«I’ve never been to a funeral until today. I see dazzling arrangements of red, yellow, and purple flowers with long, green stems. I see a stained-glass window with a white dove, a yellow sun, a blue sky. I see a gold cross, standing tall, shiny, brilliant. And I see black. Black dresses. Black pants. Black shoes. Black bibles. Black is my favorite color. Jackson asked me about it one time. “Ava, why don’t you like pink? Or yellow? Or blue?” ”I love black,” I said. ”It suits me.” ”I suit you,” he said. I’m not so sure I love black anymore. And then, beyond the flowers, beneath the stained-glass window, beside the cross, I see the white casket. I see red, burning love disappear forever. As we pull away, my eyes stay glued to the casket. It’s proof that sometimes life does not go on. I look around. If tears could bring him back, there’d be enough to bring him back a hundred times. That’s not what I’m thinking. I’m thinking, I hate good-byes. It’s like I was a garden salad with a light vinaigrette, and Jackson was a platter of seafood Cajun pasta. Alone, we were good. Together, we were fantastic. Memories might keep him alive. But they might kill me.»”

“Želja je kao vetar, premešta prašinu sa jednog mesta na drugo, zamračuje ponekad njome ceo vidik, ali na kraju stišava se i pada i ostavlja staru i večnu sliku sveta iza sebe. Trajna dela na zemlji ostvaruju se božjom voljom, a čovek je samo njemo slepo i pokorno oruđe. Delo koje se rađa iz želje, čovekove želje, ili ne doživi ostvarenje ili nije trajno, u svakom slučaju nije dobro.”
