"She's really gone, then. The little girl with the back of her shirt sticking out like a duck tail, the one who needed help reaching the dishes, and who begged to see the frosted cakes in the bakery window.

To find the answer to this fateful question he will look into his own heart."
"When I was a child, I thought as a child. But now I have put away childish things."
"The average adult hates being treated like a child, unless it suits them."
