Betty Mahmoody
“Sé que mi familia es así pero este silencio me pesa. Tengo la impresión de tener millones de cosas que decir que, en el fondo, no interesan a nadie. Me viene a la memoria lo que decían los supervivientes de los campos de la última guerra al volver a su hogar: las pesadillas no se cuentan. Los demás no imaginan este género de pesadillas. Se instala, entre ellos y nosotras, una especie de statu quo que parece decir: ‘Estás aquí, se acabó, no hablemos más de ello.”
Betty Mahmoody, For the Love of a Child

Maurice Sendak
“But the wild things cried, “Oh please don't go- We'll eat you up- we love you so!”
Maurice Sendak, Where the Wild Things Are

J.K. Rowling
“Xenophilius Lovegood," he said, extending a hand to Harry. "My daughter and I live over the hill, so kind of the Weasleys to invite us. I think you know my Luna?" he added to Ron.
"Yes" said Ron. "Isn't she with you?"
"She lingered in that charming little garden to say hello to the gnomes, such a glorious infestation! How few wizards realize just how much we can learn from the wise little gnomes — or, to give then their correct names, the Gernumbli gardensi."
"Ours do know a lot of excellent swear words," said Ron, "but I think Fred and George taught them those.”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Chuck Dixon
“There’s two things in this world you can’t frighten. A hungry dog or an angry woman.”
Chuck Dixon, Levon's Ride

Jean Craighead George
“We humans will never know how meadows or mountains smell, but deer and horses and pigs do. Bando sniffs deeply and shakes his head. We were left out when it comes to smelling things, he says. I would love to be able to smell a mountain and follow my nose to it.”
Jean Craighead George, On the Far Side of the Mountain
