I promise to keep them greener make them my daughter
teach them about fires warn them about water”

“Manchmal bauen wir uns Grenzen, und dann knallen wir dagegen,
trennen uns von Dingen und von Menschen und weinen deswegen.
Manchmal wollen wir vorankommen und uns dabei nicht bewegen.
Manchmal ist es halt ein bisschen schwer zu greifen, das Leben.”
― Julia Engelmann

“I am but a verse inspired by your chorus, and I will follow you until the end, when the isle takes my bones and my name is nothing more than a remembrance on a headstone, next to yours.”
― Rebecca Ross, A River Enchanted

“In your schoolbooks, you won't find anything about the Land Reform nor about the internal fighting of the Viet Minh. A part of our country's history has been erased, together with the lives of countless people. We're forbidden to talk about events that relate to past mistakes or the wrongdoing of those in power, for they give themselves the right to rewrite history. But you're old enough to know that history will write itself in people's memories, and as long as those memories live on, we can have faith that we can do better.”
― Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai, The Mountains Sing
