“وعرفتُ أن الليالى
مذاقُ قطرةٍ من العسل، على اللسان تتلاشى.
أنّ الأشياء، دوماً، مُهدًّدةُ بالغياب
وأنني، ذات يومٍ، كنتُ هنا، في هذا المكان.
حيث لن أكون، أبداً، مرةً أخرى.”
― عظمة أخرى لكلب القبيلة

“No matter where you go, or how many books you read, you still know nothing, you haven't seen anything. And that's life. We live our lives trying to find our way. It's like that Santouka Taneda poem, the one that goes, 'On and on, in and in, and still the blue-green mountains'.”

“I can't cry. I keep trying but nothing happens. There was just this fucking heaviness, a thick black ball in my troat. But no tears. You never cried. No matter how badly we argued I never saw you shed a tear. Neither have I. Which makes me wonder why is that we can't cry. Are we some kind of broken?”

Life too, passes through difficult winters.
But after any winter, spring will follow.”

“The act of seeing is no small thing. To see something is to be possessed by it. Sometimes it carries off a part of you, sometimes it's your whole soul."
At some point in the past, someone reading this book had felt moved to take a pen and draw a line under these words. It made me happy to think that because I had been moved by that same passage too, I was now connected to the stranger.”
