“As the opposite of death is life, I think I shall get seduced by Rupert tomorrow. . . Well, that's done and I'm glad it's over! If that's really all there is to it I'd rather have a good smoke or go to the pictures.”

“We had old architects and were working with what we had on hand. You’ve hired this new, young architect now, and, Pericles, I’m going to build you a statue of Athena—all gold and ivory, think of that, Pericles—and taller than our city walls.” Pericles raised his eyes toward the birds.”

“De Geest van de Lichte Droge Sneeuw nam de Geest van de Korrelige Sneeuw tot gezellin en enige tijd later baarde zij ver in het Noorden een Berg van IJs. De Zonnegeest haatte het glinsterende kind dat groeide en zich steeds verder over het land uitstrekte en de zonnewarmte tegenhield zodat er geen gras kon groeien. De Zon besloot Berg van IJs te vernietigen, maar de Geest van de Stormwolk, de bloedverwant van Korrelige Sneeuw, ontdekte dat de Zon haar kind wilde doden. En in de zomer, toen de Zon op zijn krachtigst was, vocht de Geest van de Stormwolk met hem om het leven van Berg van IJs te redden.”
