    Kazuo Ishiguro
    “That's most interesting. But I was no more a mind-reader then than today. I
    was weeping for an altogether different reason. When I watched you dancing that day, I saw something else. I saw a new world coming rapidly. More
    scientific, efficient, yes. More cures for the old sicknesses. Very good. But a
    harsh, cruel world. And I saw a little girl, her eyes tightly closed, holding to her breast the old kind world, one that she knew in her heart could not
    remain, and she was holding it and pleading, never to let her go. That is what I saw. It wasn't really you, what you were doing, I know that. But I saw you and it broke my heart. And I've never forgotten.”
    Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go
