“Lost something?’
Yes, my mind.”
Sebastian Fitzek, Splitter

Neil Gaiman
“Go and make interesting mistakes, make amazing mistakes, make glorious and fantastic mistakes. Break rules. Leave the world more interesting for your being here.”
Neil Gaiman, Make Good Art

Marieke Nijkamp
“You can't always keep your loved ones with you. You can't always settle your life in one place. The world was made to change. But as long as you cherish the memories and make new ones along on the way, no matter where you are, you'll always be at home.”
Marieke Nijkamp, This Is Where It Ends

Toon Tellegen
“Als ik de olifant was, dacht de eendagsvlieg, dan zou ik in zó'n hoge boom klimmen dat ik over de horizon heen kon kijken, zodat de zon daarachter niet kon ondergaan.
Ik zou kijken, niet dansen, niet struikelen, niet vallen, alleen maar kijken.
Dan ging de dag nooit voorbij en zou ik daar altijd blijven.
En als er dieren langs die boom kwamen en riepen: ‘Wie bent u?, dan zou ik terugroepen: ‘De honderdjaarsvlieg!’ of misschien wel: ‘De honderdzevenennegentigjaarsvlieg!
‘O,’ zouden ze roepen, ‘dus niet de olifant?’
‘Nee!’
(p. 35)”
Toon Tellegen

Tommy Wallach
“The best books, they don't talk about things you never thought about before. They talk about things you'd always thought about, but that you didn't think anyone else had thought about. You read them, and suddenly you're a little bit less alone in the world. You're part of this cosmic community of people who've thought about this thing, whatever it happens to be.”
Tommy Wallach, We All Looked Up
