“She grows up feeling wrong, out of place, too dark, too tall, too unruly, too opinionated, too silent, too strange.

“What is given may be taken away, at any time. Cruelty and devastation wait for you around corners, inside coffers, behind doors: they can leap out at you at any time, like a thief or brigand. The trick is never to let down your guard. Never think you are safe. Never take for granted that your children's hearts beat, that they sup milk, that they draw breath, that they walk and speak and smile and argue and play. Never for a moment forget they may be gone, snatched from you, in the blink of an eye, borne away from you like thistledown.”
― Maggie O'Farrell, Hamnet

“Kita harus belajar kecewa bahwa orang yang kita percaya ternyata memegang pisau dan menusuk punggung kita. Kita tidak bisa berharap semua orang akan selalu loyal pada perjuangan dan persahabatan.”
