“ميا تعتبر الصمت أعظم شيء يمكن للإنسان عمله، حين تصمت تستمع بشكل جيّد للآخرين وحين تملّ من كلامهم تستمع لنفسها في الصمت، لا تقول شيئًا فلا يؤذيها شيء، في أحيان كثيرة ليس لديها ما تقوله، وفي أحيان أخرى تعرف أنّها لا تريد أن تقول وحسب.”

I look in the mirror and I know it's me, but I can't quite recognize myself.”

“What she feels for him is so deep, she aches. She supposes this is what people refer to when they say the pangs of love, as if your innermost joy cannot help but cause you anguish as well.”
