“See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world, rather than according to Christ. Let no one deceive you with vain words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Walk in the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Don't let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Hold fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together, grows with a growth that is from God. Be careful that you are not led astray by the philosophies of men.”

“I just don't want to mess things up," she said. "What if we mess things up for him?" "We will, though. No one's perfect. Everyone's carrying something that their parents would have done differently if they'd known. Or if they'd been better people. Or if things had just been different. That's all right. It's normal. Part of why I am what I am is all the bad choices my mom and dad made, and if they'd done differently, they'd still have made some mistakes somewhere along the line, and those would be part of me instead. They weren't perfect, and we aren't perfect." "He is though." "He is, isn't he?”

“Siehst du das?" Er zeigt in die Landschaft. "Da stand das Haus", sagt er. "Von meinen Urgroßeltern?" "Ja." "Da?" "Nein, da." "Da, wo man den Zaun sieht?" "Nein, da wo man nichts sieht." Ich lachte. Gavrilo fand es nicht komisch, und das war der Augenblick, da Gavrilo mich fragte, woher ich käme. Also doch, Herkunft, wie immer, dachte ich und legte los: Komplexe Frage! Zuerst müsse geklärt werden, worauf das Woher ziele. Auf die geografische Lage des Hügels, auf dem der Kreißsaal sich befand? Auf die Landesgrenzen des Staates zum Zeitpunkt der letzten Wehe? Provenienz der Eltern? Gene, Ahnen Dialekt? Eine Art Kostüm, das man ewig tragen soll, nachdem es einem übergestülpt worden ist. Als solches ein Fluch! Oder, mit etwas Glück, ein Vermögen, das keinem Talent sich verdankt, aber Vorteile und Privilegien schafft. So redete ich und redete, und Gavrilo ließ mich ausreden. Er brach das Brot und reichte mir die Kante. Dann sagte er: "Von hier. Du kommst von hier." Ich biss in das Brot. Wartete, dass er erklärte. Von hier? Was von hier?”
