“תודה לאל, שכבר אז נתן לי להבין, שמרוץ ההתקדמות לעולם לא ייפסק, ואם לא מחלקים את החיים למספר תקופות, כשבתחילת כל תקופה עושים קצת חושבים איך תיראה ומה אנו רוצים להשיג בסיומה, אזי רק רצים קדימה וקדימה, מנסים להגיע לפסגה שהולכת ומתרחקת ככל שמתקרבים אליה, במקום להנות מהטיפוס עצמו. נראה לי, שאם היה בא לעולם הזה מישהו מבחוץ, איזה אורח אובייקטיבי מעולם אחר, הוא לבטח היה מקבל את הרושם שמטרת חיינו, הוויתנו, ופסגת אושרנו, היא לרוץ. בכל אופן, מומלץ מדי פעם לעשות איזה עצירה, קצת לחשוב ולסכם רשמים, ואולי באותה הזדמנות גם להיזכר שאנו אמורים להינות מכל הסיפור הזה.”

“When I was a child they used to take us to this beach, and I would look and look at the sea, knowing that where I came from was somewhere out there. I saw it as an island. A small German island with my town, my house, my parents, exactly as I left it all." She stared across the table - dark intense eyes under a black fringe streaked with grey. " You don't have a map in your head as a child. Later, you have the globe - the seas and the shapes - and you can't ever get back to that emptiness, that mystery. Knowing that there are other places, but not knowing where they are, or how to get there.”
