"Dia tidak merasakan tiga puluh. Tapi sekali lagi, seperti apa kira-kira usia tiga puluh tahun? Ketika dia masih muda, tiga puluh tahun tampak begitu jauh, dia berpikir bahwa seorang wanita seusia itu akan sangat bijak dan berpengetahuan, begitu menetap dalam hidupnya dengan seorang suami dan anak-anak dan karier. Dia tidak memiliki semua itu. Dia masih merasa tidak tahu apa-apa seperti yang dia rasakan ketika dia berumur dua puluh, hanya dengan beberapa rambut abu-abu dan kaki gagak di sekitar matanya."

--- Cecelia Ahern

Versi Bahasa Inggris

She didn't feel thirty. But then again again, what was being thirty supposed to feel like? When she was younger, thirty seemed so far away, she thought that a woman of that age would be so wise and knowledgeable, so settled in her life with a husband and children and a career. She had none of those things. She still felt as clueless as she had felt when she was twenty, only with a few more gray hairs and crow's feet around her eyes.
