“When I was a kid I had an illustrated "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" book. A yard sale non-Disney version that was already vintage. The dwarfs had no names but got along well. All sharing the same bedroom. Sleeping in a row of beds with their feet out from the covers. Because of this I started sleeping with my feet uncovered as well. And now as an adult it is still the same. Feet out even as it gets cold. We are what we read.”

“Κουβάλησε δυο δυο, τέσσερα τέσσερα, έξι έξι, τα βιβλία του πατέρα και του παππού του με τελετουργικό τρόπο στην αυλή του σπιτιού. Έφτιαξε σορούς εδώ και εκεί, τα περιέχυσε με πετρέλαιο με μεγάλη προσοχή και τα έβαλε φωτιά. Στην αρχή ο μάυρος καπνός της κηροζίνης δεν άφηνε τις φλόγες να ξεχωρίσουν, αλλά μετά από λίγο, όσο περνούσε η ώρα, άρχισαν να λάμπουν νικηφόρα, σε έντονο κίτρινο χρώμα, στο χρώμα που ο λαός λέει πως είναι το χρώμα της απελπισίας.”
