The Horses Return Quotes

“don’t belong here?’ Jonus asked and then immediately confirmed, ‘I don’t belong here. No, I absolutely don’t. I want to go where the birds and insects go when they fly away from here, I want to be free like they are. I want to get wet when it rains and then let the wind dry me. I want to feel the warmth of the sun on me for more than a few minutes at a time, I want to see other animals for real, not just in story books, and I want to feel something natural under my feet, something that is any colour except grey. I want to go to sleep and wake up without a buzzer. I want to walk and run in the fresh air, in circles, zig-zags, any way other than in straight lines. I want to live how I know I’m supposed to live, in a way that feels worth living, not like… this.’ He flushed red. ‘I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me.”

“You have failed at trying. You have tried to merely notice the fragments of time to which your soul guided you and therefore reinforced to yourself that you cannot already do it.”
