"For meg var Oasen et navn som aldri hadde slått an. Det meste i Fyllingsdalen var grønnere enn den steinørkenen her. Men så var det ingen skjermet idyll i det de kalte Lagunen heller. Navnevalgene til kjøpesentre i bergensregionen minnet mer om lengselen ut til solrike steder enn det de var: overfylte maurtuer til kommersialismens pris."
