“Fiecare om trebuie să lase ceva în urma lui atunci când moare, așa spunea bunicul meu. Un copil, o carte sau un tablou, o casă, un zid înălțat de mâna lui sau o pereche de pantofi. Sau o grădină. Ceva ce mâna ta a atins în așa fel, încât sufletul tău să aibă unde se refugia atunci când îți sosește ceasul; iar când oamenii se uită la copacul ori la floarea pe care le-ai sădit, tu ești acolo. Nu contează ce faci, spunea bunicul, atâta timp cât schimbi un lucru față de cum era înainte ca tu să-l atingi transformându-l în ceva care să îți semene de îndată ce-ți iei mâna de pe el. Deosebirea dintre omul care doar tunde iarba și un grădinar adevărat constă în atingere, spuse el. Cel care tunde iarba e ca și inexistent, grădinarul va trăi o veșnicie.”

“Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

“It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so.
I admire you, beloved, for the trap you've set. It's like a final chapter no one reads because the plot is over.”

“There is probably no more terrible instant of enlightenment than the one in which you discover your father is a man - with human flesh.”

“Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion--several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven....The higher animals have no religion. And we are told that they are going to be left out in the Hereafter. I wonder why? It seems questionable taste.”
