“Dat is het risico van je echt ergens voor inzetten, er echt om gaan geven, dat je er op een dag door krachten vanbuiten ruw van losgetrokken wordt. Of misschien is het gewoon dat al het groeien kwetsbaar is. (p. 172)”
― Eva Meijer, De nieuwe rivier

“Ach de mensen. Al die kleine en grote onzekerheden, misverstanden, gevoeligheden, zelfoverschatting. Je moet een beetje compassie met ze hebben. Een wijze vrouw zei ooit dat het gebrek de mens maakt: mensen willen altijd meer zijn dan ze zijn, voelen dat er iets aan ze ontbreekt, terwijl de andere dieren zich heel weten, zich soms zelfs zo heel weten dat ze er niet over hoeven na te denken. (p. 279)”
