Quote by Gabrielle Zevin

“You know the best thing about Donkey Kong?" Sadie asked. "That it's named for the villain? The innovative use of barrels as weapons?" "The necktie," she said. "It's brilliant design. Without it, the question of his dick would always be hanging out there." "Literally.”

“A good father loves his daughter with no strings attached. He is available. He is both strong and tender. Being big and strong doesn't mean being separate from one's feelings; to the contrary, it means being very much in touch with them. Women who experienced fathers like that know that a strong man can cry, and that a man who can cry can also be very strong.”

“Cabeza de Vaca had wrapped her in his arms and in his language, whispering about a life she did not understand although understanding seemed to form just beyond the sea and sand, waiting there for her to grow older. Even when the story confused her, she had caught words or phrases, ideas like fish, bold and surprising, tasting of her father’s mind. She had learned quickly to nod and speak because he needed her to do this, because his need surrounded her like the blue sky. She was his bastard, and he had loved her. Yes, he had loved her. That was the memory she couldn’t bear.”

“Već vrlo rano je primijetio da se s djevojkama najbolje razumije ako se pretvara u dijete. Muškarac dijete izaziva emociju time što je bespomoćan, i ta je emocija iznimno jaka, samo što ne traje dugo. To je više izljev, prolom oblaka, grčevit zagrljaj, ponekad ima i suza, žena se s takvim muškarcem seksa u bolovima, kao da ga stalno iznova rađa. Muškarac dijete uvijek sve gleda iz aspekta sudbinske ljubavi jer je jedino ljubav prema majci stvarno sudbinska. Muškarac dijete sa ženom može lako i brzo, ali ne može dugo. Poslije muškarca djeteta ne ostaje lijepa uspomena, nego krivnja i mučnina koje se još poslije pretvaraju u gadljivu ravnodušnost.”
