Quote by Andrea Levy, The Long Song

“For, like the wind, the sun, or the flowing river, like a soaring man-of-war or a beetle under a stone, like a spider at a web or a crab scuttling sideways across a shore, Nimrod was free.”

“A gyermekkor természetes igénye: szabadság. S a mai gyermeket szinte ketrecbe kényszerítik. A felnőttkor természetes igénye: élet. S a mai felnőtt, vagy alig-él, vagy maga és mások rovására, rejtek-utakon él. Az öregkor természetes igénye: nyugalom. S a mai öreg, minthogy korábbi igényei ki nem elégülhettek, még a sír szélén is szabadságot és életet akar.”
