“Maar hier staan Klipman, hy’t niks oorgekom van dit nie. En hierie man van my, dink ek terwyl ek grot toe loop, is ’n annerlike man, want vuur en klip is nie owerste oor hom nie, nee. Dis annersom. Hy is die owerste oor vuur en klip, ahê”.

Klipman se arm is nog steeds om my, hy hou my nog allie tyd vas. Sal nie weer teensukkel teen hom nie, dink ek. Hy’t my nou mooi saggebak. Ek is nou ‘n gaar skilpadjie, hy kan my maar afdop.”
Marié Heese, Vuurklip
