“Najczęściej zdajemy sobie sprawę z jałowości przeżywanych przez nas dni dopiero wtedy, kiedy jest nam dane żyć naprawdę. Czasem te chwile są krótkie jak rozbłysk światła: tylko kilka godzin, jeden dzień, tydzień, może miesiąc. Wiemy, że jesteśmy żywi, bo czujemy ból, bo nagle wszystko zaczyna nabierać znaczenia, i kiedy ten krótki czas się kończy, cała reszta naszego życia staje się wspomnieniem, do którego nadaremno staramy się powrócić, póki starczy nam tchu.”
