“Pero me sobran motivos para ser feliz. Sobre todo cuando estoy en los brazos de mis tres misses. Son tres gentiles damas a las que se llega cuando las cosas adquieren una claridad inusitada: Miss Antropía, Miss Oginia y Miss Eria; pero no las comparto, como hago con el resto de mis mujeres.”

“ذات مرة كنا كلنا اطفالا، وكانت فصول الصيف أدفأ،عشت ذات مرة ، وأنت أحببتني ذات مرة. في يوم من الأيام. أهناك عبارة محزنة اكثر من هذه: مرة في يوم من الأيام ولكن ليس بعد ذلك. كنت طفلا في يوم من الايام، كانت أيامنا قصور حكايات خرافية في يوم من الايام ، ثم غرفت في حنايا غابة مظلمة وفقدت، سمحنا لذلك أن يحدث، ومازلنا نسمح له أن يحدث, نسمح للحياة أن تركد ، أن تغدو أصلب, فإلي أين تذهبين يا حياة،و أين انت يا رأفة؟”

“Hadn’t my family been stupid to breed for magic? Someone like Hiss had been bound to pop up eventually. And then you got a not-particularly-wise, not-particularly-happy little boy who couldn’t be trusted with a sharp knife at the dinner table in case he accidentally cut his own hand open, and yet who had the power to defeat an army. How else could this have ended, other than with him being used as a weapon against us?”

“The perception of a child may irritate you, but if you are patient, it can lead you to an understanding of yourself. The world of a child is full of magic things. You should be patient with them so that your senses can grow sharper.”

“Children are naturally curious. This world is new to them. Encourage this trait as a way to develop a curious intellect. Do not be short with the child that asks questions. Use humor to end a line of questioning when a child turns into a prosecutor. Children are always surprised, and their minds lose focus when an adult drops to their level. Children will ask you many questions, progressing from what to how to why. As a child is continuously learning, you too will have to stay continuously learning.”
