Quote by Peter Høeg

“Simonin läsnäolo vaikutti aikuisiin. Jotenkin hän sai heidät avautumaan. Isä kiusoitteli äitiä. Äkkiä kaikki nauroivat. Ja lyhyeksi hetkeksi naamiot putosivat. Lyhyen hetken olimme hyvin läheisiä. Samassa tunne katosi. Aikuisten kasvot sulkeutuivat. Kunpa olisin voinut tallentaa ne hetket. Olisin halunnut ripustaa ne seinälle. Kuin kuvan. Olisin pyytänyt kaikkia katsomaan kuvaa. Sitten olisin sanonut: "Muistatteko tämän? Tämä tapahtui juuri äsken. Se on hyvin tärkeää. Kaikkein tärkeintä.”

“Aina Tuomkasen kanssa tavatessamme jatkamme niin sanotusta siitä, mihin jäimme, mutta usein minua kalvaa silti epäluulo: pidänkö häntä itsestäänselvyytenä niin kuin perheenjäsentä? Hän nyt vain on sitä: palaan hänen seurassaan johonkin sellaiseen perustilaan, johon ihminen palaa ollessaan turvassa. En vahdi itseäni ulkopuolelta enkä mieti, miten minun pitäisi olla.”

“Our Lord was born into a family. The family is God's plan for the world–His divine plan, conceived in the very beginning, to be a way of beauty and spreading His word. The special place of prayer at home, the family oratory (oratory means “house of prayer”) is a powerhouse of grace by which our family may be nourished spiritually and thus be able to transform the world through prayer, proclamation of the gospel, and charity. That sounds grand, but it is really very simple and humble, like the Holy Family itself.”

“The connection we feel to other people isn’t bound by geography or space,” Wells began. Although Clarke could see him trembling, his voice was strong and clear. “Sasha and I grew up in two different worlds, each of us wondering and dreaming about what was out there. I watched from above, never knowing for sure whether humans had survived here on Earth. I didn’t know if we’d ever set foot on this planet again or if it would happen in my lifetime. And she looked up”—he pointed at the fading stars, still faintly visible in the dark blue sky—“and wondered if there was anyone up there. Had anyone survived the voyage into space? Had people managed to stay alive up there all these hundreds of years? For both of us, getting answers to our questions seemed so unlikely. But a million tiny forces moved us toward each other, and we got our answers. We found each other, even if it was just for a moment.” Wells took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. “Sasha was my answer.”
