“You will lose someone you can’t live without,and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn’t seal back up. And you come through. It’s like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly—that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with the limp.”

“Part of me loves and respects men so desperately, and part of me thinks they are so embarrassingly incompetent at life and in love. You have to teach them the very basics of emotional literacy. You have to teach them how to be there for you, and part of me feels tender toward them and gentle, and part of me is so afraid of them, afraid of any more violation.”

“Berjuta kali aku merindukannya, berjuta kali aku ingin menghubunginya, berjuta kali aku ingin memeluknya, dan berjuta kali aku ingin mengatakan cinta padanya. Tapi setiap kali pikiran itu datang padaku, aku selalu meyakinkan diri sendiri, bahwa aku tidak berhak menganggunya, karena aku memang tidak memilihnya. Aku tidak pernah mengejarnya, tidak pernah mencarinya. Hanya membiarkan diriku semakin keropos karena menginginkannya.”
