3. "An oceanic expanse of pre-dawn gray white below obscures a checkered grid of Saskatchewan, a snow plain nicked by the dark, unruly lines of woody swales. One might imagine that little is to be seen from a plane at night, but above the clouds the Milky Way is a dense, blazing arch. A full moon often lights the planet freshly, and patterns of human culture, artificially lit, are striking in ways not visible in daylight. One evening I saw the distinctive glows of cities around Delhi diffused like spiral galaxies in a continuous deck of stratus clouds far below us. In Algeria and on the Asian steppes, wind-whipped pennants of gas flared. The jungle burned in incandescent spots in Malaysia and Brazil. One clear evening at 20,000 feet over Manhattan, I could see, it seemed, every streetlight halfway to the end of Long Island. A summer lightning bolt unexpectedly revealed thousands of bright dots on the ink-black veld of the northern Transvaal: sheep."
Author: Barry Lopez

4. "Fox-TrotBy the stream the fox and she-fox stoodNose to nose beneath the starsDancing the music of the woods.The deer rapped a beat with their hooves,The ravens sang from raven heartsAs by the stream the fox and she-fox stood.The great owl called as a great owl would,The squirrels all shimmied in the dark,Dancing the music of the woods.Then from the north a fierce wind blewAnd broke the starry dance apartBy the stream where the fox and she-fox stood."
Author: Beth Kephart

"Humor dagegen ist, sofern er in der richtigen Dosierung zum richtigen Zeitpunkt angewandt wird (wenn das nicht der Fall ist, handelt es sich nicht um Humor), ein Wundermittel, mit dem Spannungen abgebaut, unangenehme Situationen entkrampft und menschliche Beziehungen oder Verhältnisse erträglicher gemacht werden können.Ich bin daher der festen Überzeugung, dass es eine gesellschaftliche Pflicht ist, Humor anzuwenden, wann immer sich eine Gelegenheit dazu bietet. Keine derartige Gelegenheit darf verlorengehen."

10. "Pytalem przed chwila co to jest ojciec i zawolalem, ze to slowo wielkie, miano drogocenne. Ale slowa trzeba, panowie, uzywac uczciwie (...) „ojcowie, nie rozgoryczajcie dzieci waszych"! Albowiem wypelnijmy najpierw sami wole Chrystusowa, a wtedy dopiero stawiajmy wymagania dzieciom naszym. Inaczej nie ojcami, ale wrogami dzieci naszych jestesmy, one zas nie dziecmi naszymi, ale wrogami, których samismy sobie uczynili! „Jaka miarka mierzycie, taka bedzie wam odmierzone" – juz nie ja to mówie, lecz Ewangelia – jakze wiec obwiniac dzieci, ze nam nasza miarka odmierzaja? (...) ten, co zrodzil, nie jest jeszcze ojcem – ojcem bowiem jest ten, co i zrodzil, i zasluzyl sobie na miano ojca."

12. "The mind is a machine that is constantly asking: What would I prefer? Close your eyes, refuse to move, and watch what your mind does. What it does is become discontent with That Which Is. A desire arises, you satisfy that desire, and another arises in its place. This wanting and rewanting is an endless cycle for which, turns out, there is already a name: samsara. Samsara is at the heart of the vast human carnival: greed, neurosis, mad ambition, adultery, crimes of passion, the hacking to death of a terrified man on a hillside in the name of A More Pure And Thus Perfect Nation--and all of this takes place because we believe we will be made happy once our desires have been satisfied. I know this. But still I'm full of desire... --"Buddha Boy"
Author: George Saunders

Daarom kijk je ergens anders naar, je kijkt bijvoorbeeld naar de lucht of een bloeiende struik die verderop in het weiland staat - naar alles behalve naar de kant van de weg."
Author: Herman Koch

"Es ist eines der Geheimnisse der Muetter: sie verzichten niemals, ihre Kinder wiederzusehn, ihre totgeglaubten nicht und auch nicht ihre wirklich toten; und wenn es moeglich waehre dass ein totes Kind wiederauferstuende vor seiner Mutter, wuerde sie es in ihre Arme nehmen, so selbstverstaendlich, als waere es nicht aus dem Jenseits sondern aus einem der fernen Gegenden des Diesseits heimgekehrt. Eine Mutter erwarted die Wiederkehr ihres Kindes immer: ganz gleichgueltig, ob es in ein fernes Land gewandert ist, in ein nahes oder den Tod."
