“Grace handed the rose back to the old vendor; then she turned and started to walk away. After a few steps, unable to resist the fragrance still in her mind, she stopped and came back. "Hungarian, right?" she asked the vendor as she pointed to the bucket of pinkish roses, spying Patrick's curiosity. "They're roses, lady," he said. Grace bent over and stuck her face right into the heads of the entire bucketful of sweet-scented pinkish flowers. "Rosa gallica officinalis, definitely," she said mostly to herself. "I'm betting from east of the Danube, probably in the plains around Scabolcs-Szatmar-Bereg," Grace pronounced with a pretty good East European accent. She smelled them again, pulled herself away, and again mumbled to herself aloud. "Great depth. Would make a killer base note in a spicy summer parfum." She looked again at Patrick and pointed to the pinkish flowers in the bucket, and quickly walking away, she stated with a professional tone: "Those are nice." Undoubtedly, Patrick noted, this was a woman much more interested in roses than in the men who presented them.”

“La presente opera, perciò, non sarà di aiuto ai credenti convinti, se non perchè offrirà loro nuovi argomenti da usare vantaggiosamente: non è dedicata in particolare a loro. E' dedicata a chi, a un certo punto della sua esistenza, ha sentito, in seguito a certe conversazioni e certe esperienze, sorgere un dubbio nella sua anima. E' dedicata a chi soffre per il contrasto fra quello che crede di essere il suo "Io" spirituale, religioso o sentimentale. E' dedicata a tutti gli uomini di buona volontà che hanno compreso che lo scopo della vita umana è la formazione di una coscienza superiore e il perfezionamento di se stessi tramite un'armoniosa fusione di tutte le qualità specificatamente umane; a tutti coloro che lottano per capire il significato dei loro sforzi e delle loro prove. E' dedicata a coloro che vorrebbero che questi sforzi fossero intergrati nell'ordine cosmico, e che sono ansiosi di contribuirvi in qualche misura, conferendo così alla loro esistenza e alle loro aspirazioni un reale valore, al di là dei ristretti limiti dei loro interessi individuali. E' dedicata a tutti coloro che credono nella dignità umana e nella missione dell'uomo nell'Universo, e a coloro che non vi credono ancora, ma che desiderano essere convinti.”
