“시간이 지나고 나서야 나는 투이의 유치한 말과 행동이 속깊은 애들이 쓰는 속임수였다는 사실을 깨닫게 됐다. 그런 아이들은 다른 애들보다도 훨씬 더 전에 어른이 되어 가장 무지하고 순진해 보이는 아이의 모습을 연기한다. 다른 사람들이 자신을 통해 마음의 고통을 내려놓을 수 있도록, 각자의 무게를 잠시 잊고 웃을 수 있도록 가볍고 어리석은 사람을 자처하는 것이다.”

“I am tired of trying to hold things together that cannot be held. Trying to control what cannot be controlled. I am tired of denying myself what I want for fear of breaking things I cannot fix. They will break no matter what we do.”

“There are corners in the world that are too dark to see, and there are edges that are sharper than they appear, ready to snag the unwary. There are those who do not fear the things they should, and there are those who would bargain with the devil herself for the sake of their greed.The world is made safe by a woman, yes, but it is a very big world.”
― E.K. Johnston, Spindle
