“Dacă aș avea mijloace, n-aș face nimic altceva decât o bancă de lemn în mijlocul mării. Construcție grandioasă de stejar geluit, să respire pe ea, în timpul furtunii, pescărușii mai lași. E destul de istovitor să tot împingi din spate valul, dându-i oarecare nebunie; vântul, el, mai degrabă, s-ar putea așeza acolo din când în când. Și să zică așa, gândindu-se la mine: ”N-a făcut nimic bun în viața lui decât această bancă de lemn, punându-i de jur împrejur marea.” M-am gândit bine, lucrul acesta l-aș face cu dragă inimă. Ar fi ca un locaș de stat cu capul în mâini în mijlocul sufletului.”

“You won’t understand what I mean now, but someday you will: the only trick of friendship, I think, is to find people who are better than you are—not smarter, not cooler, but kinder, and more generous, and more forgiving—and then to appreciate them for what they can teach you, and to try to listen to them when they tell you something about yourself, no matter how bad—or good—it might be, and to trust them, which is the hardest thing of all. But the best, as well.”
