I never called to her, not for years. From the moment I was given back to her, the word “mamma” had stuck in my throat like a frog that wouldn’t jump out.
"İngilizler Fransızları "frog" (kurbağa) diye çağırırlar, kurbağa ayağı yiyorlar diye; buna karşılık Fransızlar da İngilizleri "rozbif" diye küçük düşürmeye çalışırlar, kanlı ya da az pişmiş et yiyorlar diye."

"Yabancı, dişi bir kurt. Dobiş ile Frog'un durumu şimdi anlaşıldı. Sürü, demek ki bu dişiyi yem olarak kullanıyor. Bu, köpekleri ayartıp dışarı çekiyor, sonra da bütün sürü üzerine çullanıp geleni mideye indiriyor."
Even if I were to chat with some snake, Johannes would only hear what to him was incomprehensible hissing. We lived in different worlds, like two snails who cannot look into each other’s shells. I could claim to him that Snakish and the Frog of the North are in my shell, and he wouldn’t believe it anyway, because in his shell he saw God and the Pope of Rome.
Negativity is totally unnatural. It is a psychic pollutant, and there is a deep link between the poisoning and destruction of nature and the vast negativity that has accumulated in the collective human psyche. No other life form on the planet knows negativity, only humans, just as no other life form violates and poisons the Earth that sustains it. Have you ever seen an unhappy flower or a stressed oak tree? Have you come across a depressed dolphin, a frog that has a problem with self-esteem, a cat that carries resentment?

Once a year, in the frog kingdom, a race was organized. Every year there was a different goal. This particular year, they had to get to the top of an old tower. All the frogs from the pond gathered to watch the event. The starting gun was fired. When they saw how high the tower was, the frogs in the crowd thought the competitors would never be able to reach the summit. They started saying things like:
''Impossible! They'll never make it.'
''Frogs can't climb up something like that!' They'll dehydrate before they get up there.
"The competitors could hear them, and one after another they began to feel discouraged. Only a few went on climbing. The onlookers kept insisting: 'It's not worth it! None of them can make it. Look, they've nearly all given up!'
"The few remaining frogs admitted defeat, all except one, who simply went on climbing despite everything. And, alone, after a supreme effort, the frog reached the top of the tower.
"Stupefied, the others wanted to know how he had done it. One went over to ask what his secret was, only to discover that the winner... was deaf!
