“Y es que el amor no consiste en buscar a esa persona que no puede vivir sin ti y sin la que tú tampoco puedes hacerlo, sino que consiste en no necesitarla para vivir, pero elegir hacerlo a su lado.”
― Neïra, Fuiste mi verano

“There is one moment, a moment in eternity. Before we find out the truth about one another. That simple moment is the one that propels us through life – what we felt at the very edge of our future, standing over the abyss, before we knew for sure we loved. Before we knew for sure we loved forever. …

Before all that, you and I walked through The Summer Garden, and once in a while my bare arm touched your arm, and once in a while you spoke and that gave me an excuse to look up into your face, into your laughing eyes, to catch a glimpse of your mouth and I, who had never been touched, tried to imagine what it might be like to have your mouth touch me. Falling in love with you in The Summer Garden in the white nights of Leningrad is the moment that propels me though life.”

“¿De que sirve prometer a alguien hacerle feliz para los restos , si no eres capaz de hacerle sonreir a diario?”
― Neïra, fuiste mi verano

“Love is,” she repeated slowly, looking only at Dasha, “when he is hungry and you feed him. Love is knowing when he is hungry”
