"Tapi apa yang harus dikatakan? Hanya ada air mata. Hanya itu Ketenangan dan Kekosongan dipasang bersama seperti sendok ditumpuk. Hanya saja ada kerutan di lubang di dasar tenggorokan yang indah. Hanya bahwa bahu berwarna keras madu memiliki tanda gigi setengah lingkaran di atasnya. Hanya saja mereka saling berpelukan, lama setelah itu berakhir. Hanya itu yang mereka bagikan malam itu bukanlah kebahagiaan, tetapi kesedihan yang mengerikan. Hanya itu sekali lagi mereka melanggar Hukum Cinta. Yang berbaring siapa yang harus dicintai. Dan bagaimana. Dan berapa banyak."

--- Arundhati Roy

Versi Bahasa Inggris

But what was there to say? Only that there were tears. Only that Quietness and Emptiness fitted together like stacked spoons. Only that there was a snuffling in the hollows at the base of a lovely throat. Only that a hard honey-colored shoulder had a semicircle of teethmarks on it. Only that they held each other close, long after it was over. Only that what they shared that night was not happiness, but hideous grief. Only that once again they broke the Love Laws. That lay down who should be loved. And how. And how much.
