"You believe it is cold, but if you build yourself a snowhouse it’s warm. You think it’s white, but at times it looks pink, and another time it’s blue. It can be softer than anything and then again harder than stone. Nothing is certain."

Tove Jamsson, Finish writer and artist. From “Moominland Midwinter (1958)
