Quotes
"Rats are smart and fast, and they survive." (Astra, 30)
That's one of the many things Opa and I have in common, our love of routine. Our desire for things to stay the same. (31)
"Well, the future is uncertain for everyone - these days more than ever. Still, there are only two ways to go, Frederieke, in dance and in life. You choose your path, or it chooses you." (Madame Lucia, 68)
"Never pray for a new king." (Opa, 132)

(286)
"Sometimes we choose between bad, and worse." (Astra, 312)… (mer)
