“But books were different. They had lots of blanks. Blanks between words and even between lines. I could squeeze myself in there and sit, or walk, or scribble down my thoughts. It didn’t matter if I had no idea what the words meant. Turning the pages was half the battle.”

“How do you go on, when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend. Some hurts that go too deep.”

“なるかみの, すこしとよみて,
さしくもり,
あめもふらぬか,
きみをとどめむ
[A faint clap of thunder,
Clouded skies,
Perhaps rain will come.
If so, will you stay here with me?]
なるかみの,すこしとよみて,
ふらずとも,
わはとどまらむ,
いもしとどめば
[A faint clap of thunder,
Even if rain comes or not,
I will stay here,
Together with you.]
万葉集 11, 2514 - 2513 (Man'yōshū vol. 11, verse 2514 - 2513)”

“Whenever anybody whom we love dies, we discover that although death is commonplace it is terribly original. We may have thought about it all our lives, but if it comes close to us, it is quite a new, strange thing to us, for which we are entirely unprepared. It may, perhaps, not be the bare loss so much as the strength of the bond which is broken that is the surprise, and we are debtors in a way to death for revealing something in us which ordinary life disguises.”
