“You can’t set fires, Anna. Never again. Promise.”

“And you? What’s your reason to hate me?”

Anna muttered into the syrupy dregs of her tea. “Fire, you’re firing me?”
Mary grimaced. There had been too much fire.”

“While an elderly man in his mid-eighties looks curiously at a porno site, his grandson asks him from afar, “‘What are you reading, grandpa?’” “‘It’s history, my boy.’” “The grandson comes nearer and exclaims, “‘But this is a porno site, grandpa, naked chicks, sex . . . a lot of sex!’” “‘Well, it’s sex for you, my son, but for me it’s history,’ the old man says with a sigh.” All of people in the cabin burst into laughter. “A stale joke, but a cool one,” added William More, the man who just told the joke. The navigator skillfully guided the flying disc among the dense orange-yellow blanket of clouds in the upper atmosphere that they had just entered. Some of the clouds were touched with a brownish hue at the edges. The rest of the pilots gazed curiously and intently outwards while taking their seats. The flying saucer descended slowly, the navigator’s actions exhibiting confidence. He glanced over at the readings on the monitors below the transparent console: Atmosphere: Dense, 370 miles thick, 98.4% nitrogen, 1.4% methane Temperature on the surface: ‒179°C / ‒290°F Density: 1.88 g/cm³ Gravity: 86% of Earth’s Diameter of the cosmic body: 3200 miles / 5150 km.”

“I have a question for you Water. What happens to the water in my body if I get angry at someone or if someone gets angry with me?”

“A very good question,” said Water. “In either case, the water in your body gets upset and causes you to not feel very well. You feel sad, or maybe you will cry. Crying is good because it puts good endorphins into your body, and you will start to feel better. They help the water in your body to recover.”
― Ellen J. Lewinberg, Joey and His Friend Water

“Pleme Cherokee više ništa nije posjedovalo. Ali nisu se ukrcali u kola, i zato su nešto uspjeli sačuvati. To se ne može ni vidjeti, ni nositi, ni jesti, ali nešto su sačuvali. Nisu se vozili. Nisu jahali. Hodali su.
Vladini vojnici su jahali ispred njih, pokraj njih, iza njih. Muškarci plemena Cherokee su hodali i gledali ravno pred sebe i nisu gledali ni u zemlju, ni u vojnike. Njihove žene i djeca slijedili su ih i nisu gledali vojnike.
Za njima su tandrkala prazna kola koja nisu služila ničemu. Kola nisu mogla ukrasti dušu plemena Cherokee. Zemlja im je bila ukradena, njihova domovina; ali pleme Cherokee nije dopustilo da im kola ukradu dušu.
Dok su prolazili kroz naselja bijelog čovjeka, ljudi su stajali uz rub puta i gledali ih. U početku su se smijali. Kako su Cherokee glupi, hodaju pješke, a prazna kola tandrču iza njih. Cherokee nisu okrenuli glave na njihov smijeh, i uskoro je smijeh prestao.
Nakon nekog vremena počeli su umirati. Njihova duša nije umrla, niti je izgubila snagu. Umirala su djeca, starci i bolesni. U početku su im vojnici dopuštali da se zaustave sahraniti mrtve. Ali onda ih je sve više i više umiralo - na stotine, na tisuće. Više od jedne trećine plemena Cherokee pomrlo je za vrijeme marŠa. Onda su im vojnici rekli da mrtve smiju sahranjivati svaki treći dan. Jer vojnicima se žurilo, htjeli su što prije obaviti tu stvar sa plemenom Cherokee. Vojnici su rekli da mrtve mogu natovariti u kola; ali Cherokee su ih odbili staviti u kola bijelog čovjeka. Hodali su i nosili svoje mrtve.
Dječak je nosio svoju mrtvu sestricu i noću spavao na zemlji pokraj nje. Ujutro bi je ponovo uzeo u naručje i hodao dalje. Muž je nosio svoju mrtvu ženu. Sinje nosio svoju mrtvu majku, svog oca. Majka je nosila svoju mrtvu bebu. Nosili su ih u naručju. I hodali. I nisu okretali glave; nisu gledali ni vojnike, ni ljude koji su stajali uz rub ceste i promatrali kolonu kako prolazi. Neki od tih ljudi su plakali. Ali Cherokee nisu plakali. Nisu pokazivali svoj plač. Nisu htjeli bijelom čovjeku pokazati svoju dušu; kao što se nisu htjeli ni vozili u kolima.
Taj je marš nazvan „Marš suza“. Ne zato što su Cherokee plakali; jer oni nisu plakali. Ljudi su taj marš nazvali Marš suza jer to zvuči romantično i opisuje tugu onih koji su stajali uz rub ceste i promatrali kolonu. Marš smrti ne zvuči romantično.
Ne može se pisati poezija o ukočenoj mrtvoj bebi u rukama svoje majke, o otvorenim bebinim očima koje bulje u plavo nebo, dok majka hoda.
Ne može se pjevati pjesma o ocu koji na zemlju polaže teret mrtvog tijela svoje žene da bi ležao pokraj njega preko noći i ustao i nosio ga dalje sljedećeg jutra... oca koji kaže svom najstarijem sinu da ponese mrtvo tijelo svog najmlađeg brata. I da ne gleda... ne govori... ne plače... da se ne sjeća planina.
To ne bi bila lijepa pjesma. Zato taj marš zovu "Marš suza".”
― Forrest Carter, Malo drvo

“The Chinese language is extremely hard to learn. It is the only major linguistic system in the world that does not have an alphabet; and it is composed of numerous complicated characters – ideograms – which have to be memorised one by one and, moreover, are totally unrelated to sounds.”
