“What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn't happen much, though.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“Over het sprookjesachtige van MAAN:
"Ik heb die sprookjeswereld niet gebruikt om mijn kop het in zand te steken. Ik heb die gebruikt om mijn eigen stem te vinden waarmee ik juist die harde werkelijkheid beter te lijf kan gaan. Zonder te ontkennen wat naar en lelijk is, maar met open oog voor wat mooi is.”
― Gaby den Held, Maan

“Both fictions and memories are recalled and retold. They're both forms of stories. Stories are the way we learn. Stories are how we understand each other.”

“It was November--the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines. Anne roamed through the pineland alleys in the park and, as she said, let that great sweeping wind blow the fogs out of her soul.”
― L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
