“Γιατί ρε μωρό μου δεν μπορούμε να ερωτευθούμε χωρίς βαρίδια πάνω μας; Να μην πούμε «εγώ αυτό το πράμα με εσένα θα το ζήσω και όσο πάει».

“One of the fatal mistakes the man has done to himself is dividing the period between two sunrises into twenty-four units. He did not just stop there, he went on cutting it further into smaller pieces called minutes and seconds.

Jsi moje postava, a tak se o tebe starám. Jsi moje figurína, moje loutka, můj maňásek, moje nafukovací panna, která toho sama se sebou má společného tolik — neříkám, zda tak málo, nebo tak moc —, kolik má milostný román, když se to tak vezme, společného s láskou.”
