“В ту ночь, лежа на кровати, я изобрел специальную дренажную систему, которая одним концом будет подведена под каждую подушку в Нью-Йорке, а другим соединена с резервуаром. Где бы люди ни плакали перед сном, слезы всегда будут стекать в одно место, а утром метеоролог сообщит, возрос или опустился уровень воды в резервуаре слез, и всем будет ясно, сколько гирь у ньюйоркцев на сердце.”
“Kartais vietoje kraujo prašoma ašarų. Bet ašaros yra sielos kraujas, kaip yra pasakęs šv. Augustinas.

Kai žmogaus žiaurume vyrauja kūninis elementas, jis trokšta kraujo. Kai jo žiaurume vyrauja dvasinis elementas, jis trokšta ašarų.”
