“I am not dead. Death does not exist. I am alive! That is the purpose of this tale, to let everyone know that they do go on and that they don't need to be afraid, as I was afraid. Yet I also have a selfish reason for wanting my story told. I was young when I died. I didn't have a chance to make my mark in the world. I didn't do anything unique, nothing that will change the course of history. But I wasn't a bad girl. I don't want to be forgotten. I want people to remember me.”

“Most people would probably call me a ghost. I am, after all, dead. But I don't think of myself that way. It wasn't so long ago that I was alive, you see. I was only eighteen. I had my whole life in front of me. Now I suppose you could say I have all of eternity before me. I'm not sure exactly what that means yet. I'm told everything's going to be fine. But I have to wonder what I would have done with my life, who I might have been. That's what saddens me most about dying--that I'll never know.”

“Snad to bylo i tím, co všechno jsem slyšel od pana profesora, který se překonával v nadávání, žádný kočí nedovedl tak nadávat ani koním, ani lidem tak, jako pan profesor francouzské literatury a estetiky..., a přitom nám vykládal o všem, co zajímalo i jej, vykládal každý večer, ještě jsem otvíral dveře, a on než usnul, než jsme usnuli, tak do poslední chvíle vykládal taky, co je estetika a co je etika a o filozofii a filozofech, vždycky o těch filozofech vykládal tak, Krista Pána nevyjímaje, že to je banda raubířů a syčáků a vrahounů a darebáků, že kdyby nebyli, bylo by lidstvu líp, ale lidstvo že je potomstvo zlé a blbé a zločinné, a tak snad ten profesor mě utvrdil v tom, že je třeba být sám, že večer jsou vidět hvězdy a v poledne jen hluboké studny...”
