简把手放在日历上，好像她可以通过皮肤将那天的日子，毛孔，血液和骨头握住，永远握住它们。但是时间不是那样工作的。时间就是现在。在任何给定的时刻，这就是您所在的地方，您在做什么都赋予了生命的含义。
(Jane put her hand on the calendar, as if she could take those days right in through her skin, her pores, into her blood and bones, hold them forever. But time didn't work that way. Time was all about the present. It was where you were and what you were doing, in any given moment, that gave life its meaning.)
