“Life is perpetual freshness, in permanent movement, As such, we need to be the same way; A childlike innocence is requested by Existence, Every time, in every circumstance – a priceless purity.”

“In a few moments, pale yellow-green dots flashed all around them. The longer they waited, the more dots appeared, little stars twinkling just for them. "Are these fireflies?" Sanna nodded. "There are always more of them here than in any other part of the orchard. It's better than fireworks." "We don't have fireflies in California." Sanna looked around her and gently cupped her hands around a bug that had flown close to them. "Look inside." She held her hands out to Bass, who peeked between her fingers at the creature who flashed in her makeshift cage. "Can I try?" "I insist. We can't go back until you catch your first firefly." Sanna let hers go and it flew straight for Bass's white T-shirt. He gently cupped it and peeked inside. Watching his eyes widen in amazement, Sanna understood something she'd always missed. While kids were messy, distracting, and obviously a ton of work, they also opened a path to the past. Through Bass's wonder, she felt ten years old again- catching her first fireflies and discovering the magic of the Looms.”

“Zoiets? (door Ema Loer) Een peuter poept een spiraal in de wc, kijkt op — verwachtingsvol, alsof het een bloem is. Of een code. Of een oerknal in bruin. “Zoiets?” vraagt hij, alsof hij eeuwen van menselijke verwarring per ongeluk heeft afgevoerd. De moeder — deel tijd, deel terp, deel theezakje met geheugen — knikt. Maar traag. Alsof ze zich herinnert dat ze dit ooit ook vroeg bij haar eerste gedachte. De wc ruikt naar waarheden die zich niet laten ventileren. De spiraal dampend van betekenis en totaal betekenisloos. Want wat is het ook eigenlijk? Een glijbaan van vezels? Een dalai lama van de dikke darm? Een kosmische afdruk in de porseleinen tijd? “Zoiets,” zegt de moeder uiteindelijk hardop. Niet als antwoord, maar als mantra. Als verzachting voor alle keren dat iets groots begon met iets kleins dat niemand durfde erkennen omdat het stonk. En het kind spoelt zichzelf weg in lachen.”

“The world is swirling with so many mysteries and secrets that nobody will ever track down all of them. But with a book you can stay up very late, reading until all the secrets are clear to you. The questions of the world are hidden forever, but the answers in a book are hiding in plain sight.”
