“We collected our things from our quarters---the ones that had been assigned to us and the ones we had adopted--- and I gathered up all my notes that would slowly metamorphose into The Extinction of Irena Rey. Maybe Grey Eminence was right that writing has to be an engine of extinction. But the first to inhabit a traumatized landscape are often fungi, lichen, slime molds, and species of plants known as "ruderal," a word that derives from the Latin word for "rubble." Maybe the extinction of Irena Rey made the space for a ruderal art, like a book about what happened to her translators.”

“...we should be remembered for the things we do. The things we do are the most important things of all. They are more important than what we say or what we look like. The things we do outlast our mortality. The things we do are like monuments that people build to honour heroes after they've died. They're like the pyramids that the Egyptians built to honour the Pharaohs. Only instead of being made out of stone, they're made out of the memories people have of you. That's why your deeds are like your monuments. Built with memories instead of with stone.”

“Cleaning out my closets and came across a dusty old book, buried and forgotten in there. I sat down and opened it up. It’s about a little girl in Finland with blonde ringlets who got mad at her grandmother and decided to walk to America. Buck naked except for the bright yellow Nokia rain boots. That’s how the journey started. Forward 53 years and I’m still that girl with a lifetime of adventure and walkabouts in between. I did end up in America, a country I embrace as my own, but the path here came with many detours and dead ends,but I’m here. Finally.”

“Gently, Auntie Zee said, “I am a traveler cat.” “A what?” Jack asked. Calisa was grateful to him for voicing the question. She had so many battering through her skull that it felt like she couldn’t speak. “It is a type of witch. Very rare. I was born with the ability to open and close portals.” A witch. “And the cat part of it?” Now she was smiling more broadly. “It’s how a portal witch recovers her powers. I have to transform into a smaller body, specifically a cat. It allows the magic to replenish— there’s less energy required to keep a smaller body alive. As for why a cat… I suppose the universe has a sense of humor. Cats are known for always being on the wrong side of every door.”

“طائرة ورقية صديقتى.. اليوم أشتقت لك. أردت أن أخبرك بما يجرى معى، وأسمع ما الذى يحدث معك، لكن شيئاً ما دمر هاتفى وضاعت أرقام الأحباب... أتسائل.. هل دمر شيئاً ما هاتفك أيضاً؟ هل لهذا السبب فقدتى رقمى أنتى أيضاً؟ صديقتى.. صنعت اليوم طائرة ورقية مع بعض الأطفال هنا. أرفقت مع الطائرة رسالة لعلها تصل لك. وما أن حلقت فى سمائنا حرة، تركت الخيط وراقبتها تبتعد وتبتعد .. لعلها لا تضل الطريق.. لعلها مازالت تألف مدينتنا التى أصبحت غريبة المعالم. صديقتى.. يبدو أن طائرتى ضاعت كما ضاع الحَمام وضاعت الأرقام، وضاع الطريق، وبقى من الأحلام القليل، بل أقل من القليل... صديقتى.. لازلت أراقب السماء، وأراقب طائرات الأطفال الورقية، لعل أحِدها تحمل رسالة منكِ لى… -رسائل فى زمن الحرب”
