Después de que Yuri colgara, Natasha pasó junto a su hermano, en el muro, y su madre, que estaba limpiándose las gafas al lado. Querer a quienes tienes cerca..., eso es lo difícil."-Julia Phillips, Disappearing Earth
"Near him, she couldn't think of anything but him. But when they were a little apart she returned to herself, and she liked that woman she came back to. Someone...capable. Someone who maintained standards, who met commitments, who produced results. Someone who would be disappointed in a man who acted the way Max so often did. She should be disappointed with him."-Julia Phillips, Disappearing Earth
"He died and the whole Soviet Union followed. Revmira's country, her young face, the entire course of her life had changed. Since she started at the hospital, she had sat next to more than a hundred persons to help them go, so she knew death well: the release of breath, the rattle, the calm. Her parents went the same way, one after the other. And she missed them. She had resigned herself a long time ago to missing all the people who left her."-Julia Phillips, Disappearing Earth
