"Time can play all sorts of tricks on you. In the blink of an eye, babies appear in carriages, coffins disappear into the ground, wars are won and lost, and children transform, like butterflies, into adults. That's what happened to me. Once upon a time, I was a boy named Hugo Cabret, and I desperately believed that a broken automaton would save my life. Now that my cocoon has fallen away and I have emerged as a magician named Professor Alcofrisbas, I can look back and see that I was right. The automaton my father discovered did save me. But now I have built a new automaton. I spent countless hours designing it. I made every gear myself, carefully cut every brass disk, and fashioned every bt of machinery with my own hands. When you wind it up, it can do something I'm sure no other automaton in the world can do. It can tel you the incredible story of Georges Melies, his wife, their goddaughter, and a beloved clock maker whose son grew up to be a magician. The complicated machinery inside my automaton can produce one-hundred and fifty-eight different pictures, and it can wrote, letter, by letter, an entire book, twenty-six thousand one hundred and fifty-nine words. These words.

THE END"

― Jeanne Ryan, Nerve

― Manu Larcenet, Ordinary Victories

Bending over, Helen picked up the picture. Through shades of black and white, her mother radiated up at her. When The Wizard of Oz had come out with color, everyone had been amazed, Helen included. But after the film, while the others talked about the munchkins' hair and Emerald City and Glinda's dress, Helen realized that the color made you see things. Black and white made you see souls."
― Corinne Beenfield, The Ocean's Daughter

"Ce ciudat e, daca stai sa te gandesti, ca in timp ce clipele palesc, inimile impietresc, trupurile imbatranesc, promisiunile se destrama si chiar si cele mai puternice convingeri slabesc, o poza, o reprezentare bidimensionala a realitatii si totodata o minciuna, ramane neschimbata, vesnic fidela."
― Elif Shafak, Three Daughters of Eve
