“De meeste mensen zijn gemiddeld, sommige zelfs ronduit minderwaardig: maar ze zijn allemaal heel gevoelig voor de hogere concentratie energie of talent in de bovengemiddelde mens. Hebben zij geen beschikking over datgene wat licht geeft in jou, dan jij ook niet. Ze hebben geen talent voor bewondering, alleen voor slavernij en afgunst. Ze stelen het licht.”
― Tommy Wieringa, Joe Speedboot

“... it still seems to me to a flaw in the fabric of creation that one day you stop cycling to the locks, stop doing cannonballs in a pair of floppy swimming trunks, stop wrestling with the others and swimming underwater, smoothly and fluidly as sea lions, to give the girls a dunking- that you grow out of that, become too old for that, is something which I have always seen as a sign that the soul exists, and that it can be ruined.”

“Toen op zekere dag een bus van Piramid Tours Nuweiba binnen reed, zat hij in de leunstoel naast de deuropening van zijn winkel. Later die middag verschenen de eerste toeristen van de nieuwe lading in hun straat, drie vrouwen. Nederlanders. Mahfouz had daar geen tweede blik voor nodig. Je kon Nederlanders nog weleens verwarren met Duitsers, maar die gedroegen zich over het algemeen met een moeizaam soort bescheidenheid, alsof ze elk moment gearresteerd konden worden. Duitsers praatten weliswaar harder dan Nederlanders, maar liepen niet alsof de wereld van hen was. Nederlanders bewogen alsof ze overal de weg wisten, met een voetstap die zwaar was van het eigen gelijk.”
― Tommy Wieringa, Joe Speedboot
