“Rayna found a makeover show on TV-one of those where they sneak up on unsuspecting people going about their business, accost them with camera, and tell them they look like crap in front of a zillion people, making them cry, then build them back up with a new makeup job they won't be able to replicate and outfits so intricate they'll never remember how to fit them together. It was perfect.”

“छोराछोरी भनेका पूर्वजन्मका साहू हुन्‌ रै, आफ्नो ऋण चुक्ता गर्न आएका । त्यसैले तिनले सताउँछन्‌ रे । मैले आफ्ना बुवामुमालाई कति सताएँ, त्यो त म जान्दिनँ, तर यतिखेर लागिरहेछ-पूर्वजन्ममा ठूलै ऋण खाएका मान्छे नै सन्तान बनेर जन्मने कुरा सम्भवत: सत्यको सबैभन्दा नजिकको अनुमान हो । पितृऋण सन्तान नजन्माई तिरिँदैन भन्थे, हो रहेछ ।”

“Kao što netko nakon kakva luda sna shvati da mu je krenuti u Ameriku, kao što netko nakon probdjevene noći konačno odluči oženiti djevojkom koju je još sinoć definitivno iznogirao, tako sam i ja iznenada počeo čitati. I to ne slučajno, nevoljko, sporadično, nego sasvim namjerno, temeljito i bez ostatka. Ne sjećam se više koji me to stvarni povod natjerao na tako nešto, ali se pouzdano sjećam da sam se te godine definitivno zarazio takozvanom lijepom književnošću, od koje neću moći ni u narednim godinama pobjeći. Jer, ako je književnost bolest, onda je ta bolest trajna, kronična i naprosto neizlječiva. Baš kad vam se učini da ste se izliječili, jave se recidivi prouzročeni nekim neuzgrednim povodom: šarenim ovitkom u izlogu, mirisom štamparske boje, glatkoćom bezdrvnog papira i slično. Uz to što je kronična, ta je bolest pomalo i endemična, jer pandemijama obiluju drugi žanrovi: televizija, moda, ples i trač.”
