"Kisah-kisah koran seperti mimpi bagi kami, mimpi buruk diimpikan oleh orang lain. Betapa mengerikan, kata kita, dan memang begitu, tetapi mereka mengerikan tanpa bisa dipercaya. Mereka terlalu melodramatik, mereka memiliki dimensi yang bukan dimensi hidup kita. Kami adalah orang-orang yang tidak ada di koran. Kami tinggal di ruang putih kosong di tepi cetakan. Itu memberi kami lebih banyak kebebasan. Kami hidup di celah di antara kisah-kisah itu."

The newspaper stories were like dreams to us, bad dreams dreamt by others. How awful, we would say, and they were, but they were awful without being believable. They were too melodramatic, they had a dimension that was not the dimension of our lives. We were the people who were not in the papers. We lived in the blank white spaces at the edges of print. It gave us more freedom. We lived in the gaps between the stories.
