“Loneliness was tricky: a cup filled at one moment with freedom, and the next, with emptiness.”
― Laura Resau, Red Glass "Both halves were there, in the bushes. I saved them as a kind of souvenir. At first, they reminded me that the night wasn't a dream. As I got older, they reminded me of what mattered in life." Chapter 2, Page 16 "Taste the berries and forget about falling off the cliff," Chapter 10, Page 84 "But the memory changes you, right? It makes you a different person." Chapter 11, page 108 'Death is at your side from the time you're born, m'hija. You need to be friends with Death. That's what makes you love Life. And when it's your time to die, you won't be scared. Because, m'hija, Death is your friend." Chapter 19, Page 233 "I noticed that the layer of heavy, thick stuff that used to separate me from the world was disappearing, like mist rising and floating away." "But the memory changes you, right? It makes you a different person."Chapter 11, Page 108
