“To je ono zbog čega sam skoro poludeo. Svi koji su došli na groblje mogli su da uđu u kola i uključe radio i sve, a zatim da odu da ručaju na neko lepo mesto - svi osim Elija.”

“Når jeg genkalder mig Ikaros, bliver jeg meget sørgmodig og forvirret. Han var branket kobber, et hjerte, jeg bar ham på min læbe. Jeg blev vingerne, eller jeg blev voks, noget af mig smeltede til Ikaros. Nu, når krybenes bælge flækker, tænker jeg på det. Småkrybene dør med forbløffelsens lethed, næsten som om de bøjer sig brat ned efter en sten. Når der er mange kryb på én gang, fokuserer jeg helst på de små: deres bløde maver, kinder, tynde negle. Jeg vugger dem i min mund, til det hele er opløst. Før så jeg på dem som fjerne kusiner, nu tænker jeg på dem som børn. Du ser, hvor galt det er fat med mig. M.”

“The animal does not rebel against its own kind. Consider animals: how just they are, how well-behaved, how they keep to the time-honored, how loyal they are to the land that bears them, how they hold to their accustomed routes, how they care for their young, how they go together to pasture, and how they draw one another to the spring. There is not one that conceals its overabundance of prey and lets its brother starve as a result. There is not one that tries to enforce its will on those of its own kind. Not a one mistakenly imagines that it is an elephant when it is a mosquito. The animal lives fittingly and true to the life of its species, neither exceeding nor falling short of it. He who never lives his animal must treat his brother like an animal. Abase yourself and live your animal so that you will be able to treat your brother correctly. You will thus redeem all those roaming dead who strive to feed on the living. And do not turn anything you do into a law, since that is the hubris of power.”
