Author of quotes: Tan Twan Eng

Eventually they will go under water, will be out of reach for me. Such a prospect is appalling. After all, what kind of identity without memory? A Ghost, doomed to linger between worlds - not having any personality, no future, no past.

Memory is similar to the dappled sunlight in the valley, the sky above with clouds: the clouds are moving, and the spots are moved. Sometimes the light will fall at any particular point in time, will display her a moment, before the wind will tighten the gap and once again the world plunged into shadow.
