41 " sex and humor are the heart and lungs of a good relationship "
― Rosamund Lupton , Sister
42 " I've always been intimidated by handsome men, let alone beautiful ones. I associate them not so much with inevitable rejection as with turning me completely invisible. "
43 " There was no harbor for hope. "
44 " ...death does leave a daunting array of practical tasks: all those possessions that you were forced to leave behind had to be sorted and packed and redistributed in the living world. "
45 " „Tijelu su mi potrebni tragovi iz stvarnoga izvanjskoga svijeta, a ne klima sjećanja. "
46 " Was the feeling that all is right with the world, my world, because your were its foundations, formed in childhood and with me grown into adulthod -- was that to replaced by nothing? The ghastliness of nothing. Because I was nobody's sister now. "
47 " Mum said no one has ever called me by my first name so I've always assumed that even as a baby they could tell I wasn't an Arabella, a name with loops and flourishes in black-inked calligraphy; a name that contains within it girls called Bella or Bells or Belle - so many beautiful possibilities. No, from the start I was clearly a Beatrice, sensible and unembellished in Times New Roman, with no one hiding inside. "
48 " Because I'd rather fell guilty for the rest of my life than for her to have felt a second's fear - Tess's Mother "
49 " Mum handed me back my engagement ring and I slipped it on. I found the weight of it around my finger comforting, as it Todd was holding my hand. "
50 " I know that grief is love turned into an eternal missing. "
51 " Todd added bourbons to the custards creams on the plate, arranging them in two neat yellow and brown rows, his annoyance expressed through the symmetry of biscuits. "
52 " „Ne znam koliko je bilo sati. Vrijeme mi više ništa nije značilo. Obično vrijeme sve mijenja i na sve utječe, ali kad umre netko koga voliš, vrijeme to ne može promijeniti, nijedna količina vremena nikada to neće promijeniti, tako da vrijeme prestaje imato svako značenje. "
53 " „Kad sam ugledala tvoj pramen kose, znala sam da je tuga ljubav pretovrena u vječno nedostajanje. "
54 " „Sjećaš se onih žlićica za kavu iz 1930-tih, svake poput rastopljenog bombona? Tako sam ja živjela svoj život, u malim odmjerenim dozama. Ali tvoja smrt bila je golemo more i tonula sam. Jesi li znala da ocean može biti dubok sedam milja? Nikakvo sunce ne može prodrijeti tako duboko. U potpunome mraku samo izobličeni, neprepoznatljivi oblici opstaju na životu, mutacijske emocije za kakve, sve do tvoje smrti, nisam ni znala da postoje. "
55 " Instead of imagining the frightening and the ugly, I will try to find the beautiful in everyday things. "
56 " Sleep, baby, sleepYour father tends the sheepYour mother shakes the dreamland treeAnd from it fall sweet dreams of theeSleep, baby, sleep. "
57 " Our mind is who we are; it's where we feel and think and believe. It's where we have love and faith and hate and passion. "
58 " been united by superficial tendrils of the small and the mundane, but the enormous fact of your death was ripping each fragile connection. I said "
59 " She pans life for gold and finds it daily. "
60 " „Kao što ste rekli, vrijeme prestaje imati svaki smisao kad umre netko koga voliš. "
