“Страста постои за да биде задоволена; во спротивно би била смирение, а не страст. Настрана што ниедна страст не може да се задоволи целосно. Копнееш по нешто, на пример по вода. Несреќен си и неисполнет додека копнееш, така барем мислиш и мислиш дека среќата ќе дојде кога ќе ја задоволиш својата жед. И еве, конечно, доаѓа првата голтка. Среќен си. Но само со првата голтка. Веќе со втората ти си по малку среќен, и со секоја наредна стануваш се понесреќен, оти класденецот е тука, ама копнежт бледнее и го снемува. Каков привид: беше несреќен додека растеше копнежот а сега си несреќен затоа што то ј се смалува! Ако е така, среќата е само миг: мигот кога го добиваш она по што си копнеел, првата капка. Во неа се`, вечноста.”

“And what did I do, only slip my hand inside his own and say that maybe he should hold my hand instead for a while, and I can see the look on his face even to this day. The shock and the desire. Oh, I loved the power I had over him! The power I could sense in myself! You won't understand this but it's something that every girl realizes at some point in her life, usually when she's around fifteen or sixteen. Maybe it's even younger now. That she has more power than every man in the room combined, because men are weak and governed by their desires and their desperate need for women but women are strong. I've always believed that if women could only collectively harness the power that they have then they'd rule the world. But they don't. I don't know why. And for all their weakness and stupidity, men are smart enough to know that being in charge counts for a lot. They have that over us at least.”

“I've wandered through the real world, and written myself through the darkness of the streets inside me. I see people walking through the city and wonder where they've been, and what the moments of their lives have done to them. If they're anything like me, their moments have held them up and shot them down. Sometimes I just survive. But sometimes I stand on the rooftop of my existence, arms stretched out, begging for more. That's when the stories show up in me. They find me all the time. They're made of underdogs and fighters. They're made of hunger and desire and trying to live decent. The only trouble is, I don't know which of those stories comes first. Maybe they all just merge into one. We'll see, I guess. I'll let you know when I decide.”
