• I think looking back to my own childhood, the fact that so many of the stories I read allowed the possibility of frogs turning into princes, whether that has a sort of insidious affect on rationality, I'm not sure. Perhaps it's something for research.

• Cuando estamos solos en una noche estrellada, cuando por casualidad vemos a los pájaros migratorios en otoño descender sobre un bosquecillo de enebros para descansar y comer; cuando vemos a los niños en un momento en que son realmente niños, cuando conocemos el amor en nuestro propio corazón; o cuando, como el poeta japonés Basho, oímos a una vieja rana aterrizar en un estanque tranquilo con un chapoteo solitario: en esos momentos, el despertar, la vuelta del revés de todos los valores, la "novedad", el vacío y la pureza de visión que se hacen evidentes, todo ello nos permite vislumbrar la danza cósmica.

• You have lost your reason and taken the wrong path. You have taken lies for truth, and hideousness for beauty. You would marvel if, owing to strange events of some sorts, frogs and lizards suddenly grew on apple and orange trees instead of fruit, or if roses began to smell like a sweating horse; so I marvel at you who exchange heaven for earth. I don't want to understand you.

• Todos los niños deberían tener pasteles de barro, saltamontes, bichos de agua, renacuajos, ranas, tortugas de barro, bayas de saúco, fresas silvestres, bellotas, castañas, árboles a los que trepar. Arroyos que vadear, nenúfares, marmotas, murciélagos, abejas, mariposas, diversos animales que acariciar, campos de heno, piñas de pino, rocas que rodar, arena, serpientes, arándanos y avispones; y cualquier niño que se haya visto privado de todo esto se ha visto privado de la mejor parte de la educación.

• Do you know the story of the scorpion and the frog? You know, the frog agrees to carry the scorpion across the river, because the scorpion promises not to sting him. And then the scorpion stings the frog, half way across the river. The drowning frog asks him why he did it, when they'll both drown, and the scorpion says that he's a scorpion, and it's his nature to sting.

• We had the sky up there, all speckled with stars, and we used to lay on our backs and look up at them, and discuss about whether they was made, or only just happened - Jim he allowed they was made, but I allowed they happened; I judged it would have took too long to make so many. Jim said the moon could a laid them; well that looked kind of reasonable, so I didn't say nothing against it, because I've seen a frog lay most as many, so of course It could be done.
