Quotes 

• Nana Kunning : Ivan's strong. He can handle it.

  Ike : You think you know everything. He's just a boy.

• Nana Kunning : I'm not interested in elaborating. You're asking me to perform, like, pluck love out of the sky and examine it for you. It's not what I do.

• Ike : [about Ivan]  You shouldn't have taken him out of that class. He needs looking after.

  Nana Kunning : I took care of it, Ike. He's in another class.

  Ike : Yea. He has feelings, Alana. He never comes first.

  Nana Kunning : He doesn't need to. It'll do him good to learn that.

• Nana Kunning : You know, the problem is the moment I begin to explain an act, I start claiming it with language. We want to take this possessive stance with everything, right? But it only weakens us, whereas our well-being demands an acceptance of uncertainty.

• Nana Kunning : Ivan... Ivan.

  Ivan : [shouting]  Do not say my name. Do not say my name!

• Nana Kunning : Right now everything is incomprehensible. I have a boy who hasn't even lived yet. What was he born for? To die?
