“Svakoj ženi bez razlike nije dato da bude posrednik između muškarca i sveta. Muškarac se ne zadovoljava samo time da u partnerki pronađe seksualne organe koje dopunjavaju njegove. Potrebno je da ona oličava čudesni procvat života i da u isto vreme prikriva njegove mutne tajne. Od nje će, pre svega, tražiti mladost i zdravlje, jer grleći nešto živo muškarac ne može da se očara ako ne zaboravi da je čitav život ispunjen smrću.”
