“The apologies, the true sign—that this was not the man you once knew, a man who would never have uttered that word to his son, sorry, and in English, no less. Not because he thought himself infallible, but because of his belief that a family should never have to say sorry, or please, or thank you, for that matter, these things being redundant, being contradictory to the parent-son relationship, needing to remain unstated always, these things being the invisible fabric of what a family is.”

“Onde há luz tem de haver sombra e onde há sombra é forçoso que haja luz. Não existe sombra sem luz, nem luz sem sombra. Num dos seus livros, Karl Jung disse o seguinte acerca da "sombra". É tµao má quanto nós somos positivos...quanto mais tentamos desesperadamente ser bons, maravilhosos e perfeitos, mas a sombra desenvolve uma clara determinação em ser negra, má e destrutiva....a verdade é que tentamos muito para além das nossas forçar tornarmos-nos perfeitos, a sombra desce ao inferno e convertes-se no diabo. Porque do onto de vista da natureza e da verdade é igualmente pecaminoso o factor de alguém tentar tornar-se superior ou inferior a si próprio.”
