“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».

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.”
