"The granola bars.
It had come to this.
Miserably, he unwrapped a bar.He brought the compacted brown mass to his lips. With a heavy heart, he opened his mouth and prepared his tongue to receive the foul-tasting grunge. Then, in the nick of time, he recovered his fighting spirit.Things were bad, but not that bad. He still wasn't desperate enough to eat a granola bar.“

"I did not know the heart were like a china teacup hanging in the cupboard from a single hook, that it could chip and crack and finally smash to the ground under a boot heel.
And I did not know that even smithereens could reassemble into a heart. I did not know any of this”

“Ah, but not all dreams are true. There are two gates by which a dream may enter: one of shining ivory, one of plain horn. The dreams from the ivory gate are glimmering illusions that signify nothing. But those from the horn gate can come true – if only we know which is which!”
