“Ganz blind arbeitete er vorwärts, ohne jeden Ehrgeiz, nur um sich zu betäuben und nicht an die vielen Dinge zu denken, auf die er verzichten mußte. Er begriff, daß ein wunderbares Geheimnis in diesem Fieber war, mit dem sich viele Leute über die Nutzlosigkeit und Leere ihres ganzen Lebens hinwegtäuschten, und hoffte, so auch seinem Leben einen Sinn aufzwingen zu können, freilich vergessend, daß die erste Jugend nicht einen Sinn des Lebens will, sondern das ganze vielfältige Leben selbst.”

“Ganz sicher aber haben mir die Kästners eine Familieneigenschaft in die Wiege gelegt [...]: die echte und unbelehrbare Abneigung vorm Reisen. Wir Kästners sind auf die weite Welt nicht sonderlich neugierig. Wir leiden nicht am Fernweh, sondern am Heimweh. Warum sollten wir in den Schwarzwald oder auf den Gaurisankar oder zum Trafalgar Square? Die Kastanie vorm Haus, der Dresdner Wolfshügel und der Altmarkt tun es auch. Wenn wir unser Bett und die Fenster in der Wohnstube mitnehmen könnten, dann ließe sich vielleicht darüber reden! Aber in die Fremde ziehen und das Zuhause daheimlassen? Nein, so hoch kann kein Berg und so geheimnisvoll kann keine Oase sein [...], daß wir meinen, wir müßten sie kennenlernen! Es ginge noch, wenn wir daheim einschliefen und in Buenos Aires aufwachten! Das Dortsein wäre vorübergehend zu ertragen, aber das Hinkommen? Niemals!”

“Garden of the Dragons (Vol. Three, 'The 'Halla') Epilogue (abridged 'Tis an immortaled foreverness we go to, On that wind shorn and storm torrid plain, Where hopes, dreams and life never dies - As we encounter ourselves, and in our love The victory do we gain. Even so, there are more forgotten fables of This eternaled lass, She exists in our dreams forever, that shadow land Where true hearts do last. She is our story, the legends and myths as are we, A tale to be told to the child within, who forevermore is free. Rides she everlasting in our quietest stores, And summons up the courage to live of what we Have royally into been born. Yea, once more she rules the Forgottenland, She has learned to love, but forever Alone, she stands. But we should know, deep down inside, Kari doth smiles for she is one of her kind (For if nothing else, she appreciates her all, Who she is and in this, knowing she will never fall). Thus it is written perhaps with our dissent, That those in Hell are of the unrepent. A place of one's own choosing so it would seem, Moment by moment we enter therein with our false dreams. Yet those who are there know one truth above all, The strength of iron hopelessness - Of realities not false. A prison to some, a Heaven to others, Freedom reigns when earthen illusions are shattered asunder. And Kari, does she know her secret? Surely she does, That to love and to be oneself are blessings from Above.”

“Garden writing is often very tame, a real waste when you think how opinionated, inquisitive, irreverent and lascivious gardeners themselves tend to be. Nobody talks much about the muscular limbs, dark,swollen buds, strip-tease trees and unholy beauty that have made us all slaves of the Goddess Flora.”

“Gardener's , like everyone else, live second by second and minute by minute. What we see at one particular moment is then and there before us. But there is a second way of seeing. Seeing with the eye of memory, not the eye of our anatomy, calls up days and seasons past and years gone by.”

“Gardeners know that you must nourish the soil if you want healthy plants. You must water the plants adequately, especially when seeds are germinating and sprouting, and they should be planted in a nutrient-rich soil. Why should nutrition matter less in the creation of young humans than it does in young plants? I'm sure that it doesn't.”
