我和我的兄弟一生都被父母告诉我们的关于自己和他人的小说所吸引。每个人都希望我们对他或她的支持判断对方。有时我感到被骗了，好像他们从未允许我们有一个自己的故事。直到现在，我才知道他们的故事也有多少。
(All our lives my brother and I were caught by the fictions my parents told us-fictions about themselves as well as others. Each wanted us to judge the other in his or her favor. Sometimes I felt cheated, as if they never allowed us to have a story of our own. It is only now that I understand how much their story was also mine.)
