“What is family? They were the people who claimed you. In good, in bad, in parts or in whole, they were the ones who showed up, who stayed in there, regardless. It wasn't just about blood relations or shared chromosomes, but something wider, bigger. We had many families over time. Our family of origin, the family we created, and the groups you moved through while all of this was happening: friends, lovers, sometimes even strangers. None of them perfect, and we couldn't expect them to be. You can't make any one person your world. The trick was to take what each could give you and build your world from it.”

“Un om din Evul Mediu ar detesta în mod identic întregul nostru stil actual de viaţă, considerîndu-l atroce, dezgustător şi barbar! Fiecare epocă, fiecare cultură, fiecare datină şi tradiţie îşi are stilul său specific, propria moliciune şi duritate, frumuseţile şi atrocităţile sale, considerînd că anumite suferinţe sînt fireşti şi tolerînd răbdător anumite rele. Viaţa oamenilor se transformă în suferinţă reală, într-un adevărat iad numai atunci cînd se întrepătrund două epoci, două culturi şi religii.”
