“When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.”

“Με το πέρασμα των φεγγαριών και το φυλλορρόημα των γενεών το γεφύρι έστεκε αναλλοίωτο, όπως και το νερό που κύλαγε από κάτω του. Γερνούσε βέβαια, όπως όλα, αλλά σε χρονικά διαστήματα πολύ πιο μεγάλα, όχι μονάχα απ' όσο κρατάει η ζωή ενός ανθρώπου αλλά περισσότερο και από το μάκρος της ζωής ολόκληρων γενεών, κι ήταν τόσο μεγάλα τα διαστήματα, που κανένας δεν μπορούσε να δει με το μάτι αυτό το γέρασμα. Αν και φθαρτό, όπως όλα τα πράγματα, το γεφύρι έμοιαζε να 'χει ζωή αιώνια, γιατί κανείς δεν μπορούσε να προβλέψει το τέλος του.”
