"Beberapa kerabat saya berpegang pada ingatan imajiner cara orang gelandangan memegang tiket lotre. Nostalgia adalah kokain mereka, jika Anda mau, dan masa kanak-kanak saya dipenuhi dengan konsekuensi dari kecanduan mereka: hutang yang tidak dapat diperbaiki, pertengkaran atas warisan, alkoholik atau bunuh diri yang aneh."

Versi Bahasa Inggris
Some of my relatives held on to imagined memories the way homeless people hold onto lottery tickets. Nostalgia was their crack cocaine, if you will, and my childhood was littered with the consequences of their addiction : unserviceable debts, squabbles over inheritances, the odd alcoholic or suicide.
