“Tienen en las manos un digno heredero de la estirpe de los jinetes que huyen de su destino o que corren hacia él, miembro por derecho de la tribu de los caballos fantasmales, de los caballeros descabezados y de los durmientes que sucumben a la frescura del bosque sin intuir el gusano devorador que roe las raíces. Esta balada trágica que apela a la fragilidad del amor y a la vida quebradiza y vulnerable es un regalo y una maldición, pues no hay don que se precie que no lleve aparejado un destino desgraciado.”

“Tierra Carta (Charter of Earth, S2498) Nationality and religion are like blood groups, it has no relation to human capacity and character, despite the superstitions and conspiracy theories; morons are found in every corner of the world, just like mavericks are found in every corner. The only difference between blood groups and nationality is that, blood groups are a fundamental factor of medical treatment, whereas nationality and religion are fleeting vestiges of an adolescent species. I opened my eyes and couldn't find a single precedent of post-national, post-religion, post-lingual, post-cultural existence, so I became the precedent. My roots go deep down to the core of earth, spread across the bones and marrow of the human race.”

“Tierratitan, Sonnet I only have one advice for you, own your life, from head to toe - unapologetically alive and original, not a carbon copy, with second hand woe. Civilization is not a conjuring trick, Civilization is a long labor of life. You don't figure out everything overnight, You figure out things over time. Sweet dreams are made of sweat-n-dare. Sweat makes it sweet, dare brings it true. Sweet society is made of reason-n-care, When I'm your shelter, my shelter is you. I be your vision, you be my mission. Divided we drown, together, Tierratitan.”

“Tiffany knew what the problem was immediately. She'd seen it before, at birthday parties. Her brother was suffering from tragic sweet deprivation. Yes, he was surrounded by sweets. But the moment he took any sweet at all, said his sugar-addled brain, that meant he was not taking all the rest. And there were so many sweets he'd never be able to eat them all. It was too much to cope with. The only solution was to burst into tears.”

“Tiffany learned that Lin had stolen Tiffany’s book title idea: “2 girls 1 cup.” A month ago, Tiffany had confided to Lin about Tiffany’s research showing that there was nothing on Amazon with the title “2 girls 1 cup,” and Tiff intended to be the first one to use that title for her upcoming book. Lin had betrayed her. Now, Lin’s book was available online and it was on the bestsellers list. Tiffany’s first go-to move for revenge against any of her female friends was to go sleep with her BFF’s boyfriend. That was “Dr. Bob” as Lin called him affectionately (he was Lin’s drug source).”

“Tiffany şok olmuştu. “Nasıl bu kadar zalim olabilirsin?” “İnsanlar, eşyaları havada oynattığını gördüğünde ona saygı duyacaklar. Ve saygı, bir cadının besini ve suyudur. Saygı olmadan hiçbir şeysin. Bizim Bayan Düzgün pek fazla saygı görmüyordu.” Bu doğruydu. İnsanlar Bayan Düzgün’e saygı duymuyordu. Üzerinde düşünmeden ondan hoşlanıyorlardı, o kadar. Bayan Havamumu haklıydı ama Tiffany haklı olmamasını diliyordu. “Bayan Kene ve sen, beni neden ona gönderdiniz o zaman?” dedi. “Çünkü Bayan Düzgün insanlardan hoşlanıyor,” dedi cadı, uzun adımlarla Tiffany’nin önünden yürürken. “Onları önemsiyor. Hatta aptal, kötü ve salyalar akıtan insanları, bebekleri ishal olmuş akılsız anneleri, beceriksiz ve aptalları, ona bir tür hizmetkar gibi davranan aptalları. İşte buna büyü derim ben; bütün bunları görmek, bütün bunlarla uğraşmak ama yine de devam etmek; ölmek üzere olan zavallı yaşlı bir adamın başında bütün gece oturmak, acılarını becerebildiğince gidermek, dehşetlerini yatıştırmak, onları güvenle yollarına göndermek... Onları temizlemek, yatırmak, cenaze için üstlerine çekidüzen vermek, yaslı dulun yatak örtülerini yıkamasına yardım etmek -ki bunun korkak yüreklilere uygun bir iş olmadığını söyleyebilirim sana- ve bir sonraki gece de uyumayıp cenazeden önce tabuta göz kulak olmak ve sonra eve gitmek; beş dakika oturduktan sonra, ilk çocuğunun doğumu sırasında karısı güçlük çektiği ve ebe aklını yitirmek üzere olduğu için öfkelenmiş bir adamın bağıra çağıra gelip kapıyı yumruklaması, kalkıp çantanı almak ve yine dışarı çıkmak... Bunları her birimiz kendi yöntemimizle yaparız ve açıkçası, o benden daha iyi yapıyor. Cadılığın kökü, yüreği, ruhu ve özü budur. Ruhu ve özü!” Bayan Havamumu yumruğunu avucuna vurdu ve sözcükler ağzından kurşun gibi çıktı. “Ruhu... ve... özü!”

“Tiger Lily made an attempt at a smile. After having felt the need to glower at other children for most of her life, smiles never came easily to her face. But this one was half all right. "I miss you already," he said. Tiger Lily wanted to say it back. But she held on to the words greedily, too caught in the habit of keeping herself a secret. And Peter-half sadly, half-expectantly-let her go.”

“Tiger Lily's words echo in her head—He made me into the worst thing he could imagine, being grown up. Wendy brushes at her cheeks, furious with herself. She should be focused on Tiger Lily, but all she can picture is Peter's face as he stood at the end of Jane's bed, seeing her daughter and not her. No wonder Peter couldn't see her. She has become everything he hates. She looks at Tiger Lily again. Is that what Peter thinks growing up means? Becoming a shell with the ghost of the child you once were trapped inside?”

“Tiger-orange, and so dreamy and evocative of name, cloudberries had been on my mind for years. The first time I ever came across them on a menu, rather than in a field guide, was in a bistro on Estonia's Baltic Coast, in Pärnu, as a jam to accompany cake. As I was curious to try the preserve, the waiter agreed to bring me a spoonful, despite the cake being off the menu. Golden and precious as the amber torn from rocks at the bottom of the Baltic Sea, it gleamed.”
