“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”

“Có bao giờ bạn ở trong trạng thái này: một giai điệu nào đó gắn liền với một đoạn đời nào đó của bạn. Và nó cứ mãi mãi như thế, dính cứng ngắc như bị dán bằng keo con voi. Bạn nghe giai điệu đó, lập tức đoạn đời đó sẽ trở về bên bạn, nguyên vẹn. Cảnh vật quanh bạn như rùng mình biến đổi. Mùi hương quanh bạn như chuyển mình. Ngay cả chính bạn cũng gần như choáng váng, như xẹt điện, như sụp đổ, như bất cứ một hiệu ứng chuyển cảnh mạnh mẽ nào đó trong phim ảnh mà chúng ta có thể hình dung. Có bao giờ như thế không?”

“With the advent of winter, her eyes seemed to take on a greater transparency, a transparency that lead nowhere. Occassionally, for no particular reason, Naoko would gaze into my eyes as if searching for something. Each time I was filled with odd sensations of lonliness and inadequecy.”

“I don't want our relationship to end like this. You're one of the very few friends I have, and it hurts not being able to see you. When am I going to be able to talk to you? I want you to tell me that much, at least.”

“Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder. Try it: “I’m not going to edit your résumé, sweetie, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.” If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.”
