“Somewhere, a book said once, all the talk ever talked, all the songs ever sung, still lived, had vibrated way out in space and if you could travel to Far Centauri you could hear George Washington talking in his sleep or Caesar surprised at the knife in his back. So much for sounds. What about light then? All things, once seen, they didn't just die, that couldn't be. It must be then that somewhere, searching the world, perhaps in the dripping multiboxed honeycombs where light was an amber sap stored by pollen-fired bees, or in the thirty thousand lenses of the noon dragonfly's gemmed skull you might find all the colors and sights of the world in any one year. Or pour one single drop of this dandelion wine beneath a microscope and perhaps the entire world of July Fourth would firework out in Vesuvius showers.”

Or pour one single drop of this dandelion wine beneath a microscope and perhaps the entire world of July Fourth would firework out in Vesuvius showers. This he would have to believe. And yet... looking here at this bottle which by its number signalized the day when Colonel Freeleigh had stumbled and fallen six feet into the earth, Douglas could not find so much as a gram of dark sediment, not a speck of the great flouring buffalo dust, not a flake of sulphur from the guns at Shiloh...”

“Вземайти всичко, каквото поискате, при условие, че наистина го желаете. Ето как ще разберете. Попитвате се: "Искам ли това нещо от цялото си сърце? Бих ли могъл да преживея този ден без него?" И ако усетите, че без него до залез слънце ще сте се повалили мъртви, грабвате скъпоценното нещо и си го отнасяте с вас.”

“Тіло живе лише задля себе. Воно тільки те й робить, що їсть, п'є і чекає, коли настане ніч. Бо самою своєю суттю належить ночі. А дух, Вільяме, народжений від сонця, і йому призначено бути невсипущим і допитливим багато тисяч годин нашого життя.”
