“I think songs gave me a window into a magical life,” I said. “Something bigger, or whatever, waiting out there. And I felt like the only way to get there was through the songs. Like the songs, if I listened hard enough, would show me how to get it right.”

“Het huis vertegenwoordigde zijn gouden eeuw, toen alles fris en ongerept was, eer hij de wereld had veroverd en tot de ontdekking kwam, dat de verovering wederkerig was , dat het er veelal meer op leek dat de wereld hem veroverd had. Telkens wanneer de ironie van deze paradox zsich sterk genoeg aan hem opdrong, was hij bereid om al het mogelijke te ondernemen,dat in staat leek hem naar zijn gouden eeuw terug te leiden.”

“After I hang up, I try to read Hamlet for a while, but I don't understand it that well, and I have to keep looking over to the right margin where they define the words, and it just makes me feel like an idiot.
Not that smart.
Not that hot.
Not that nice.
Not that funny.
That's me: I'm not that.”

“May gales and anguish sweep elsewhere
The killer of my character
But I am hardly some backbitter bent
On vengence but; no, my heart is lenient”

“ONCE UPON A time, there was a king who had three beautiful daughters. He loved each of them dearly. One day, when the young ladies were of age to be married, a terrible, three-headed dragon laid siege to the kingdom, burning villages with fiery breath. It spoiled crops and burned churches. It killed babies, old people, and everyone in between.
The king promised a princess’s hand in marriage to whoever slayed the dragon. Heroes and warriors came in suits of armor, riding brave horses and bearing swords and arrows.
One by one, these men were slaughtered and eaten.
Finally the king reasoned that a maiden might melt the dragon’s heart and succeed where warriors had failed. He sent his eldest daughter to beg the dragon for mercy, but the dragon listened to not a word of her pleas. It swallowed her whole.
Then the king sent his second daughter to beg the dragon for mercy, but the dragon did the same. Swallowed her before she could get a word out.
The king then sent his youngest daughter to beg the dragon for mercy, and she was so lovely and clever that he was sure she would succeed where the others had perished.
No indeed. The dragon simply ate her.
The king was left aching with regret. He was now alone in the world.
Now, let me ask you this. Who killed the girls?
The dragon? Or their father?”
