  • "...but in the beginning, as he lay in bed with Ipek's arms around him, he didn't even know how happy he was; he felt peace with the world, and this sense of peace seemed so nautral that he had a hard time remebering why so much of his life up until this point had been sorrow and tumult" (284).
  • "...a long strange silence followed. Ka found it very soothing. For the first time in years, he had felt part of a family, in spite of the trials and responsibilities of what was called family, he saw now that it was grounded in the joys of an underlying togetherness, a feeling he was sorry to have knonw so littl of in his life" (328).
