“I wish every one in the world was as warm and sheltered as we are tonight.”

“We are respecting our parents' wishes....They didn't want to shelter us from the world's treacheries. They wanted us to survive them.”

“Star light, star bright,The first star I see tonight;I wish I may, I wish I might,Have the wish I wish tonight.”

“I Wish I MayI Wish I MightNot Make a Fool of Myself Tonight”

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”

“In a world beyond this one, that river goes on singing sweetly, enchanting us with what we want to hear, shaping what we need to see in order to keep going. In those waters, all disappointments are forgotten, our mistakes forgiven. Gazing into them, we see a strong father. A loving mother. Warm rooms where we are sheltered, adored, wanted. And the uncertainty of our futures is nothing more than the fog of breath on a windowpane.”
