Quote by Véronique Tadjo

“The stars, the oceans, planets, and animals are the building blocks of our bodies. The universe doesn't exist outside of us. It's in us. We are the universe. But of all this immeasurable beauty, this unfathomable mystery, what do we have left?”

“Seen the sunrise from Mount Fuji, sunset in the Gobi, seen the midnight sun in the Arctic Circle, seen glaciers crack off and slide down mountainsides, seen ice calve off the shelf into bergs the size of cities. I've seen flocks of birds so thick the sun goes dark, seen a lioness give birth in the wild, seen the bottom of the ocean and top of the world. Seen some of the most beautiful women from just about ever country on the globe, seen 'em anywhere from totally nude to garbed in the full panoply of state." I couldn't, didn't try to look away from her, from the way the water caught the light and the way the towel both hid and revealed her curves all at once. "Never in my life have I seen anything so beautiful and breathtaking as you, right now, just like that.”

“The music was, as before, a song I didn't know but found familiar, the words in a language I didn't speak but still understood. All of it as colorful as a painting. Cobalt blue. Prussian blue. Venetian red. Emerald green. He was singing a story. A sad one that suddenly became something else and then something else again, the colors changing as the story did, from a radiant magenta to some kind of violet. And then a gold I rarely heard.”

“She’d remembered it as sexy, but now the first lines repeated in her head like a hymn: There were never strawberries / like the ones we had / that sultry afternoon, and she understood for the first time the past tense of it, the longing for what is passed. The fumbling for something that is gone and cannot come again. A memory made sweeter for the fact it is a memory. That was what she meant by the poster – for it to be a trigger, a portal, a way back.”

“— Les anciens dieux sont puissants, mais ils ne sont ni bienveillants ni indulgents. Ils sont capricieux, aussi instables que le reflet de la lune à la surface de l'eau ou les ombres au sol par temps d'orage. Si tu persistes à vouloir les invoquer, sois prudente : prends garde à ce que tu leur demandes et sois prête à en payer le prix. Penchée vers la jeune fille qu'elle plonge dans l'ombre, elle ajoute : — Et, surtout, même si la situation est dramatique ou désespérée, ne prie jamais, au grand jamais, les dieux qui répondent à la nuit tombée.”
