“Ach, nou vergeet ik één ding te vertellen: de dominee was ook op bezoek, een zeer belezen en wijze man met een hoornen bril. Hij droeg een leuk pak en vrolijke schoenen. Hij praatte vaak met mij over Sartre, Hegel, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard en A Andersen. Als eerste heeft hij mij in contact gebracht met Winnie-the-Pooh. De dominee vond mij een aardige jongen en ik mocht hem ook wel. De dominee schreef in zijn vrije tijd gedichten en soms las hij ze aan me voor. Ze gingen haast altijd over de herfst en de dood.”

“The world of 'Pooh,' no less than that of the 'idealistic' bourgeois pacifist Milne, is a world of sheer animalism, where the inhuman bestiality of the 'free' market has full sway. In this unconsciously revealing portrait of capitalism we glimpse, not only the sordidness of wage-slavery, speculation, and 'lawful' gangsterism, but also the possibility of a better life--of a forthcoming heroic revolution. ... This optimistc note, which is in fact the ultimate meaning of 'Winnie-the-Pooh,' is what rescues the book from the vilest decadence and makes it, after all, suitable reading for progressive children thoughout the world.”

“In the mirror, he saw himself, a knight with bowed head, offering his service, a sword in his hand, a sword in his back. He felt no pain, only the ache in his heart. Choose me. There were tears on his cheeks, even as he felt the shame of it. She was no one, a girl who had lucked into a gift, who had done nothing to earn it. She was his queen. "Darlington," she said. But that was not his true name any more than Alex was hers. If only she would choose him. If only she would let him... She touched her fingers to his face, lifted his chin. Her lips brushed his ear. He didn't understand it. He only wanted her to do it again. Stars poured through him, a cold and billowing wave of night. He saw everything. He saw their bodies entwined. She was above him and beneath him all at once, her body splayed and white as a lotus flower.”
