"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

“十年之后,我希望我能生活在一栋有大窗户的房子里,我希望那栋房子足够大,能容下一张餐桌和四把椅子,但又不要太大,不然我会感受到我那无尽的孤独,因为那时我大概还是形单影只。但我想,有了那层能够守护我内心安宁同时又能让我凝视世界的玻璃,再怎么孤独,也显得不那么难过了吧。”
--梅芙的十年后的未来论文
