Danh ngôn của Jhumpa Lahiri
Almost any American can connect on some level to a family background of having come across some ocean. They say, 'My great-grandparents came from wherever... this is why we have this last name, why we do this thing at Christmas.' All the details get watered down but don't quite disappear.

Hầu như bất kỳ người Mỹ nào cũng có thể kết nối ở một mức độ nào đó với hoàn cảnh gia đình từng đi qua đại dương nào đó. Họ nói, 'Ông cố của tôi đến từ bất cứ đâu... đây là lý do tại sao chúng tôi có họ này, tại sao chúng tôi làm điều này vào dịp Giáng sinh.' Tất cả các chi tiết được giảm bớt nhưng không hoàn toàn biến mất.

- When you have kids, you instantly feel that you do not want to do them wrong. Those dads that go off to Florida and start a new life, I couldn't imagine that: seeing my kid once every Christmas, every three years. If I'm gone for six days it feels like too much.
