“We all, one day, realize that we’re not going to be kids forever and we’re going to grow up.”

“Our ignorance is such that most of us don’t realize we’re thirsty. Or, if we realize we’re thirsty, we look for water in the wrong place. We go into fire looking for cool refreshment. And often we’re confused about what our thirst actually is.”

“...we’re just kids growing up on an island, doing bad things in pretty places.”

“It’s the end. It’s the end of the civilization. We’re going down.No, it’s sure not too attractive. Lenticels.I just hope my kids don’t live to see the last days. The things burning and people living in cellars.Violet.The only thing worse than the thought it may all come tumbling down is the thought that we may go on like this forever.”

“Now, if you ask me, what’s going on is that we’re all up to here in it, and probably the most important thing is that we not yell at one another.”

“The world is wide, wide, wide, and I am young, young, young, and we’re all going to live forever!”
