"In ten years' time, I want to live in a house with big windows, I want the house to be large enough to have a kitchen table with four chairs but not too roomy to feel the depth of my aloneness. Because I'll probably be alone. But I think aloneness won't feel so all-consuming with windows that protect me from the world but still let me watch it."
--Maeve's ten-years'-time essay

“十年之後,我希望我能生活在一棟有大窗戶的房子裡,我希望那棟房子足夠大,能容下一張餐桌和四把椅子,但又不要太大,不然我會感受到我那無盡的孤獨,因為那時我大概還是形單影隻。但我想,有了那層能夠守護我内心安甯同時又能讓我凝視世界的玻璃,再怎麼孤獨,也顯得不那麼難過了吧。”
