4. "Zomaar een mijmering, een pasgeboren stuiverfilosofietje:Dat de tranen die vloeien als de pupillen elkaar aanraken, zoals ik vroeger droomde, misschien heel anders zijn dan de tranen die de gangbare traangebruiker kent. Ik bedoel - misschien zijn het honingzoete tranen die komen uit een verborgen reservetraankliertje dat we niet eens kennen. Het enige orgaan dat geschapen is in de wetenschap dat het nooit gebruikt zou worden.

Om iets te zien moet je eerst iets kunnen herkennen. Zonder herinnering kun je alleen maar kijken. Dan glijdt de wereld spoorloos door je heen."
