“From sunrise to sunset, I was in the forest, sometimes far from the house, with my goat who watched me as a mother does a child. All the animals in the forest became my friends, even dangerous and poisonous ones. Thanks to my goat-mother and my Indian nurse, I have always enjoyed the trust of animals--a precious gift. I still love animals infinitely more than human beings.”

“البئر الأولى هي بئر الطفولة . إنها تلك البئر التي تجمعت فيها أولى التجارب والرؤى والأصوات ، أولى الأفراح والأحزان ،والأشواق والمخاوف التي جعلت تنهمر على الطفل ، فأخذ إداركه يتزايد ، ووعيه يتصاعد ، لما يمر به كل يوم ، يعانيه أو يتلذذ به . وكلما استقى من تلك البئر، ازداد مع ريّه فهمه لهذه التجارب والرؤى والأصوات ، بأفراحها وأحزانها ، وإذا يمتح من مائها ، لن يعرف ما الذي سيصعد إليه من صفوٍ قرير ، أو طين وعكر ، وقد يكثر الطين والعكر ، ويقل الصفو القرير . ولم لا؟ إنّه بذلك يعيش ويتغذى : إنها البئر التي لن يكون له عنها غنى . وإذ يعود إليها كل مرة ، فهو إنما يرد ينبوعًا دائم الفيض في طوايا إنسانيته.”

“What better reminder do we have than our kids of our own best selves, our less stressed and more carefree selves? In their silliness we see the echo of the way we used to be: when we were kids, yes, but also before we had kids, or even two weeks ago, before all of the stress of these year-end corporate meetings. Their joy, their infectious enthusiasm, their sense of "mission" as the poor dog is dressed in boxer shorts, cannot help but cajole you, and beckon you, to lighten up.”

“Family is not disparate relationships between individuals and machines, in separate rooms of a house. Childhood is not a race to accumulate all of the consumer goods and stresses of adulthood in record time. Simplification signals a change and makes room for transformation. It is a stripping away that invites clarity.”
