“Sometimes when I look at you, I feel I'm gazing at a distant star.
It's dazzling, but the light is from tens of thousands of years ago.
Maybe the star doesn't even exist any more. Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.”
― South of the Border, West of the Sun

“With the advent of winter, her eyes seemed to take on a greater transparency, a transparency that lead nowhere. Occassionally, for no particular reason, Naoko would gaze into my eyes as if searching for something. Each time I was filled with odd sensations of lonliness and inadequecy.”

“Non capiscono cos'è l'amore", rispose Adalana, "cosa vuol dire essere tenuti stretti e avere qualcuno a cui importa di te. Ho rubato io quel tempo. Sentivo l'alcol e le pillole di Ragen. Oh, fa male parlarne..."
"Sì, ma dobbiamo parlarne", disse il dottor George, "ci aiuta a capire".
"Sono stata io. E' un po' troppo tardi adesso per dire che mi dispiace, vero? Ho rovinato la vita dei ragazzi... Ma loro proprio non capivano..."
"Non capivano che cosa?" chiese la Turner.
"Cos'è l'amore. Il bisogno di amore. Essere tenuti stretti da qualcuno. Semplicemente sentirsi caldi e protetti. Non so cosa mi ha spinto a farlo”

“As I held her and caressed her and kissed her naked flesh, I felt a strange and powerful awareness of the imbalance and awkwardness of the human body. Holding Naoko in my arms, I wanted to explain to her, "I am having sex with you now. I am inside you. But really this is nothing. It doesn't matter. It is nothing but the joining of two bodies. All we are doing is telling each other things that can only be told by the rubbing together of two imperfect lumps of flesh. By doing this, we are sharing our imperfection." But of course I could never have said such a thing with any hope of being understood. I just went on holding her tightly.”
