“In all of her time spent watching others, she hadn't picked up on this part of falling in love, that someone could look at you as if you were the very center of everything. And even though you knew better, you'd allow yourself a moment to believe you were worthy of being revolved around, too.”

“Well, we are the stars", Joan said. "And the stars are us. Every atom in our bodies was once out there. Was once a part of them. To look at the night sky is to look at pars of who you once were, who you may one day be.”

“But I think it is also the relief I feel that those stars are immovable. Nothing you or I could do will ever alter them. They are so much bigger than us. And they will not change within our lifetime. We can succeed or fail, get it right or get it wrong, love and lose the ones we love, and still the Summer Triangle will point south. And in that way, I know everything will be some type of okay—as impossible as that can seem sometimes.”

“La teoría de los archipiélagos viene a decir que todos somos islas, llegamos solos a este mundo y nos vamos exactamente igual, pero necesitamos tener otras islas alrededor para sentirnos felices en medio de ese mar que une tanto como separa. Yo siempre he pensado que sería una isla pequeñita, de esas en las que hay tres palmeras, una playa, dos rocas y poco más; me he sentido invisible durante gran parte de mi vida. Pero entonces apareciste tú, que sin duda serías una isla volcánica llena de grutas y flores. Y es la primera vez que me pregunto si dos islas pueden tocarse en la profundidad del océano, aunque nadie sea capaz de verlo. Si eso existe, si entre los corales y sedimentos y lo que sea que nos ancla en medio del mar hay un punto de unión, sin duda somos tú y yo. Y si no es así, estamos tan cerca que estoy convencido de poder llegar nadando hasta ti.”
