“—Creus en l'amor? —va dir. De vegades crec que l'amor s'acaba però que l'esperança germina eternament. De vegades crec que l'esperança s'acaba però que l'amor germina eternament. De vegades crec que sexe més culpa és igual a bon sexe. De vegades crec que l'amor és tan natural com les marees, i de vegades crec que l'amor és un acte de voluntat. De vegades crec que algunes persones estan més fetes per a l'amor que d'altres, i de vegades crec que tothom ho fa veure.
