“Was zo graag samengevallenmaar iedereen vielapartwas zo graag samen gevallenmaar iedereen viel apartalleenwijwas zo graag samengevallenmaar iedereen viel apartalleen wijsprongen naar de sterren”

“If all I can say is I'm not in this swamp, I'm not in this swamp then there is not a rope in front of me and there is not an alligator behind me and there is not a girl sitting at the edge eating a hot dog and if I believe that, then dying would be the only answer because then Death couldn't come and say Peachy to me anymore and after all she has a brother who believes in hope.”

“Zo, I'm not a damn pussy!'Erik, looking very tall and full-grown, kick-your-butt vampyre-like, snorted sarcastically and then said, 'No, you're a damn human. Wait, that does make you a pussy!”

“How many minutes will still die in the swamp of your illusion of being human?”
