“It so happened I was barefoot, as was often the case, and had pants on which had grown too short over time. Suddenly he looked up at me from his work and said: "Would you like to have your feet greased?" I had always held the man to be a great marvel and felt honoured by his familiarity and so stretched both my feet out to him. He dipped his spoon into the bung-hole, brought it over and drew a long streak down each of my feet. The liquid spread out nicely over the skin, had an exceptionally clear, golden brown colour and wafted its pleasent resinous odour up to me. It gradually spread across and down the curves of my feet.”

“În deșertul ăsta numit Viață, în care căutăm ca disperații un izvor de sinceritate în unul și-n altul, prea puțin în noi, de parcă ne-am teme c-am putea seca, construim identități din orice chilipir personal. Ne e frică să ne găsim. Plecăm. Plecăm mereu. Plecăm continuu. Plecăm amarnic. Plecăm cu spaimă. Plecăm uitând să ne aplecăm în cei ce suntem. Plecăm așa ca noi doi. Eu și el.”
