Isabel : Papa, have you ever picked a bad mushroom?
Fernando : No. You know why?
Isabel : Why?
Fernando : Because I always do like my grandfather told me.
[he gets up and starts to walk; the girls follow]
Fernando : If you're not sure a mushroom's good, don't pick it. Because if it's bad, and you eat it, it's your last mushroom and your last everything too.

Fernando : Have you never wanted to do anything that was dangerous? Where would we be if no one tried to find out what lies beyond? Have you never wanted to look beyond the clouds and the stars? Or to know what causes the trees to bud or what changes darkness into light? But if you talk like that people call you crazy.
