"Kami turun di pintu keluar berikutnya, diam-diam, dan, berganti pengemudi, kami berjalan di depan mobil. Kami bertemu dan aku memeluknya, tanganku mengepal erat di bahunya, dan dia memelukku erat-erat dan meremasnya, sehingga aku merasakan goncangan dadanya ketika kami menyadari berulang kali bahwa kami masih hidup. . Saya menyadarinya dalam gelombang dan kami berpegangan satu sama lain menangis dan saya berpikir, 'Tuhan kita harus terlihat sangat timpang,' tetapi tidak masalah ketika Anda baru saja menyadari, sepanjang waktu kemudian, bahwa Anda masih hidup."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

We got off at the next exit, quietly, and, switching drivers, we walked in front of the car. We met and I held him, my hands balled into tight fists around his shoulders, and he wrapped his short arms around me and squeezed tight, so that I felt the heaves of his chest as we realized over and over again that we were still alive. I realized it in waves and we held on to each other crying and I thought, 'God we must look so lame,' but it doesn't matter when you have just now realized, all the time later, that you are still alive.
