Quote by Melanie Dickerson

“Magdalen, the girl with pretty green eyes. Magdalen, who was smiling so warmly right now at Lenhart, who was attentive to Katrin even when she talked too much. She had been so gentle and concerned about his wounds, washing his face and bringing him fresh water to drink.”

“Quando si ha già la risposta non bisognerebbe farsi troppe domande. Come l’arcobaleno. È utile domandarsi perché è bello? No. È bello e basta. Anzi, sapere se è il sole che si infrange nel vapore acqueo o se è la pioggia che incontra i raggi del sole toglie poesia allo spettacolo. Possiamo cambiare l’ordine delle parole ma la bellezza dell’arcobaleno non cambia. E poi l’arcobaleno, quello vero, quello raro, che unisce i due estremi della città dopo un temporale, dura talmente poco che buttare via il tempo a cercare spiegazioni fisico-scientifiche invece di ammirarlo e di goderselo sarebbe demenziale.”

“...'I've never told you this, but when you were in your teens one of your teachers called us. He said you'd been fighting in the playground again. With two of the boys from the grade above, but this time it hadn't turned out so well--they'd had to send you to the hospital to have your lip sewn and a tooth taken out. I stopped your allowance, remember? Anyway, Øystein told me about the fight later. You flew at them because they'd filled Tresko's knapsack with water from the school fountain. If I remember correctly, you didn't even like Tresko much. Øystein said the reason you'd been hurt so badly was that you didn't give in. You got up time after time and in the end you were bleeding so much that the big boys became alarmed and went on their way.' Olav Hole laughed quietly. 'I didn't think I could tell you that at the time--it would only have been asking for more fights--but I was so proud I could have wept. You were brave, Harry. You were scared of the dark, but that didn't stop you going there.'...”
