Quote by Tove Jansson

“Не съм сигурна, че подходихме правилно към предишните си пътувания и допускам, че вината беше най-вече моя. Не е необходимо да свършим всичко и постоянно да търчим насам-натам, както правех аз. Сега съм по-наясно. Разбираш ли, човек би могъл просто да бъде. Да се оглежда, докато наистина види, докато види другояче, и да говори за това, да говори за какво ли не и да опознава мястото чрез усещанията си заедно с другия. Не бързаме ли прекалено много, когато сме млади, как мислиш? "Райската градина”

“I once heard a woman who'd lost her dog say that she felt as though a color were suddenly missing from her world: the dog had introduced to her field of vision some previously unavailable hue, and without the dog, that color was gone. That seemed to capture the experience of loving a dog with eminent simplicity. I'd amend it only slightly and say that if we are open to what they have to give us, dogs can introduce us to several colors, with names like wildness and nurturance and trust and joy.”

“You might think Cult Girls would have a rather limited readership (ex-Jehovah's Witnesses) but I, who never bothered to learn anything about those strange people who rang my doorbell with "good news" loved it. Jehovah's Witnesses aside, this beautifully illustrated graphic novel pertains to any cult. Nicely and clearly written, it's a good harrowing story.”
