“- Давайте поделимся этим, ладно?
- Выслушайте меня хорошенько.Сядьте, не двигайтесь, умоляю вас!
- Если бы у меня было хоть немного снега с горных вершин, день пролетел бы куда быстрее.
- Пена, вокруг меня пена, пусть же она никогда не перестает превращаться во что-то твердое.
- Чтобы встать в круг, надо не меньше трех человек.
- Были две безголовые тени, и они уходили в даль по пыльной дороге.
- Ночь, день, день, ночь, облака и летучие рыбки.”
