“Uneasy sleeper you will live to see the city of your birth pulled down to the last stone.”

“All of you, wherever you are: in your spiny cities, or your one-bump towns. Find it, the hard stuff, thelinks of metal and chink, the fragments of stone filling your stomach. And pull, and pull, and pull.I will make a pact with you: I will do it if you will do it, always and forever.Take down the walls.”

“Precious is sleep, better to be of stone,while the oppression and the shame still last;not seeing and not hearing, I am blest;so do not wake me, hush! keep your voice down.”

“Magic is like pulling the pin on a grenade and then sutffing it down your pants to see what happens.”

“...we live in the same city but don't see the same things - you see buildings and I see memories...”

“The city they are building asks you to stay; remind yourself what is worth keeping, while the lighthouse of your moan warns the ship of your heart that he is a stone.”
