"Something is going to happen, Laura thought. She was going to be kissed. On one side of a kiss was childhood, sunshine,innocence, toys and, on the other, people embracing, darkness, passion and the admittance of a person who, no matter how loved, must always have a quality of otherness, not only to her confidence, but somehow inside her sealing skin."

"فكرت لورا: "شيء ما سيحدث". كانت على وشك أن تُقبّل. على أحد جانبي القبلة كانت الطفولة، وأشعة الشمس، والبراءة، والألعاب، وعلى الجانب الآخر كان هناك أناس يتعانقون، وظلام، وشغف، وقبول شخص، مهما كان محبوبًا، يجب أن يحمل دائمًا صفة الغرابة، ليس فقط لثقتها، بل بطريقة ما داخل جلدها الذي يختمها."

"Reading is very creative - it's not just a passive thing. I write a story; it goes out into the world; somebody reads it and, by reading it, completes it."
