「Old paint on canvas, as it ages, sometimes becomes transparent. When that happens, it is possible in some pictures to see the original lines. A tree will show through a woman's dress. A child makes way for a dog. A boat is no longer on an open sea. That is called pentimento because the painter "repented," changed his mind.」
「I think I have always known about my memory. I know when the truth is distorted by some drama or fantasy. But I trust absolutely what I remember about... Julia.」
「What's her name? → lilly.」
「I like your anger. → You're the only one who does then. → Don't you let anybody talk you out of it.」
「They never wanted to find the baby. → I did.」
