“Am I crazy?" she asked. "I feel like I am sometimes."
"Maybe," he said, rubbing her forehead. "But don't worry about it. You need to be a little bit crazy. Crazy is the price you pay for having an imagination. It's your superpower. Tapping into the dream. It's a good thing not a bad thing.”

“We fear death, we shudder at life's instability, we grieve to see the flowers wilt again and again, and the leaves fall, and in our hearts we know that we, too, are transitory and will soon disappear.

“..ama her zaman varlıklıların, belli bir yere kök salmış yaşayanların karşısında onların baş düşmanı olarak yer alır, çünkü bu kişiler göçebelerden nefret eder, onu horlar, ondan korkarlar, çünkü göçebe bazı tatsız şeyleri anımsatır kendilerine, tüm varoluşun gelip geçiciliğini, tüm yaşamın sürekli dağılıp döküldüğünü, çevremizdeki evreni baştan başa dolduran buzsu ölümlerin amansızlığını anımsatır.”
