“My dear little big Marianne,
... I hope that you will grow up to be a healthy, happy and strong human being. I hope you will experience the most beautiful things the world has to give... And then you must have children... And think of our evenings of discussion in bed, about all the important things of life... And think of our beautiful three weeks at the seashore - of the sunrise, and when we walked barefoot along the beach from Bansin to Uckeritz, and when I pushed you before me on the rubber float, and when we read books together. We had so many beautiful things together, my child, and you must experience them all over again, and much more besides... And be happy as often as you can - every day is precious.
My love for you shall accompany you your whole life long.
(From Rose Schlosinger to her daughter, 1943)”

“If any of us survive these next decades on this planet, you will live to make a society where people share and love and laugh and understand each other. If none of us survive, it won't matter, because then we'll be free. Meanwhile, we can play with each other, and create poems and colours and songs and orgasms together, and learn to fight not so much for what we believe in as for what we love.
Dear Blake, I love myself right now.
Dear Blake, I love K. so very much.
Dear Blake, I love you, even though we've not been introduced.
Dear Blake, leave my body behind you quickly. K and I, together, throughout labour and delivery, will work hard to aid you in your struggle towards light and air and independence.
Dear Blake, welcome to the universe.
Dear, dear Blake, goodbye.”
