“You never come back, not all the way. Always there is an odd distance between you and the people you love and the people you meet, a barrier thin as the glass of a mirror, you never come all the way out of the mirror; you stand, for the rest of your life, with one foot in this world and no one in another, where everything is upside down and backward and sad.”

It lights the whole sky.”

“Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another?

― The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle
