Children are excited by new ideas; they have not yet closed the doors and windows of their imaginations. Provided the story is good... nothing is too difficult for children. Madeleine L'Engle
I lay there knowing something eerie ties us to the world of animals. Sometimes the animals pull you backward into it. You share hunger and fear with them like salt in blood. Barry Lopez
She thought it was part of the hardship of her life that there was laid upon her the burthen of larger wants than others seemed to feel? that she had to endure this wide hopeless yearning for that something, whatever it was, that was greatest and best on this earth. George Eliot
An empty shell. Those were the first words that sprang to mind. .... Something incredibly important - .. - had disappeared from Miu for good. Leaving behind not life, but its absence Haruki Murakami
