“— Ти знаєш, що ми всі діти зірок? — запитала Манон, щільно притуливши теплі губи до його вуха, щоб не порушувати гірську тишу. — Коли мільярди років тому зірки вибухнули, залізо й срібло, золото й вуглець дощем посипалися вниз. І залізо того зоряного пилу тепер у нас — у наших мітохондріях. Матері передають зірки і своє залізо своїм дітям. Хто знає, Жане, може, ми з тобою створені з пилу однієї й тієї самої зірки. Можливо, ми впізнали одне одного за її світлом. Ми шукали одне одного. Ми — шукачі зірок.”

“When Compasia took pity on me, she reached down into the Underworld, touched the shoulder of Moritas, and asked her forgiveness. Then Compasia took my sister in her arms and placed her in the sky, where she, too, turned to stardust. Magiano looks at me, his eyes wide. It seems as if he already, somehow, understands. “My goddess made me a promise,” I whisper. Only now do I realize that I have never seen him cry before. In the stories, Compasia and her human lover would descend each night from the stars to walk the mortal world, before vanishing with the dawn. So, together, we stare at the sky, waiting.”

“Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, every living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover. That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact.”
