• Bueno, eran un millón de pequeñas cosas que, cuando las sumabas todas, significaban que debíamos estar juntos... y yo lo sabía. Lo supe la primera vez que la toqué.

• Our prime minister could embrace and forgive the people who killed our beloved sons and fathers, and so he should, but he could not, would not, apologise to the Aboriginal people for 200 years of murder and abuse. The battle against the Turks, he said in Gallipoli, was our history, our tradition. The war against the Aboriginals, he had already said at home, had happened long ago. The battle had made us; the war that won the continent was best forgotten

• Onyx is angry," Damian says. "Onyx has a right to be angry. You've got to remember, for many elephants, their life is that of a human in a war-torn country. Ravaged homes, killed relatives, separation," Damian says. Here's another thing I've learned over two months--every elephants here has a sad story. Every captive elephant's story is one of loss and separation. Something to remember every time you see happy people getting elephant rides.

• parece que Montgomery no pudo evitarlo cuando se trató de este jarrón. Me temo que tiene debilidad por las cosas bellas y se le conoce por cambiar de lugar un objeto si cree que no se le está dando el aprecio debido. Una vez "reubicó" una antigua escultura de la casa de otro arcángel.

• I felt angry, frustrated. I felt I didn't belong, not in my church, not in my home, not in my skin. Amidst the chaos, i felt alone, in need of a friend instead of a sister, someone detached from my world. The "woman's role" theory disgusted me. I would soon be a woman, and I knew I could never perform as expected. I was tired of my mom's submission to her religion, to her husband's sick quest for an heir, to his abuse. I was sick of my dad, of reaching for him as he fell farther away from us and into the arms of Johnnie WB.

• Esto es lo que pasa: alguien -generalmente una chica- tiene un espíritu libre, no se lleva muy bien con sus padres. Estos niños, son como globos de helio atados. Se tensan contra la cuerda y se tensan contra ella, y entonces algo sucede, y esa cuerda se corta, y simplemente se van flotando. Y tal vez nunca vuelvas a ver el globo... O puede que dentro de tres o cuatro años, o dentro de tres o cuatro días, los vientos dominantes se lleven el globo de vuelta a casa. . . Pero escucha, niño, esa cuerda se corta todo el tiempo.

• He just put his hand through the bulkhead, exactly as she'd done, and squeezed my shoulder. He has very strong fingers. And he kept his hand there the whole way home, even when he was reading the map and giving me headings. So I am not flying alone now after all.

• Pero poner la música a todo volumen y llegar borracho a casa no es la vida real. La vida real, resulta, es pañales y cortadoras de césped, cubiertas que necesitan ser pintadas, una esposa que necesita ser escuchada, niños que necesitan ser enseñados a distinguir el bien del mal, un talonario de cheques, un cambio de aceite, una puesta de sol detrás de una montaña, risas en una mesa de cocina, demasiado vino, un diente astillado, y un niño gritando.

• Puedo oírlos en el piso de abajo. Me encontrarán en miuntes, o segundos. Garabateo las palabras en un trozo sucio de papel de periódico. Son casi ilegibles, pero si las encuentra, lo entenderá: "No lo bastante rápido. Te quiero Jamie. No te vayas a casa' No sólo rompo sus corazones, también les robo su refugio. Imagino nuestro pequeño cañón abandonado, como debe ser para siempre ahora. O si no abandonado, una tumba.

• You never know when you might come home and find Mam sitting by the fire chatting with a woman and a child, strangers. Always a woman and child. Mam finds them wandering the streets and if they ask, Could you spare a few pennies, miss? her heart breaks. She never has money so she invites them home for tea and a bit of fried bread and if it's a bad night she'll let them sleep by the fire on a pile of rags in the corner. The bread she gives them always means less for us and if we complain she says there are always people worse off and we can surely spare a little from what we have.

• Mientras que el turista se apresura a volver a casa al cabo de unas semanas o unos meses, el viajero, que no pertenece más a un lugar que a otro, se desplaza lentamente durante años de una parte a otra de la Tierra.
