Diana Wynne Jones
“Tantrums are seldom about the thing they appear to be about.”
Diana Wynne Jones, Howl's Moving Castle

Erik Pevernagie
“When we are looking for the unexpected, we are not only looking for the unexpected in ourselves, but we are also curious about the unexpected in the behavior of the others. So as to know the others, we have got to learn how and where they differ from us. By understanding this, we are able to establish an uplifting link with otherness. ( "Looking for the unexpected" )”
Erik Pevernagie
