From the book Momo, by Michael Ende (1973):
'You're called Momo, aren't you?'
'Yes.'
'That's a pretty name, but I've never heard it before. Who gave it to you?'
'I did,' said Momo.
'You chose your own name?'
'Yes.'
'When were you born?'
Momo pondered this. 'As far as I can remember,' she said at length, 'I've always been around.'
(Chapter 1)
To paraphrase the Zen Master Bankei, "You were never born, so you will never die." Strangely, there does not seem to be much about Bankei on the English-speaking Web at the moment, but the best book about Bankei and his teachings I have ever read is Bankei Zen, translator Peter Haskel (1989).
