Quote by Krzysztof Kieślowski

“W Polsce jest w ogóle inny stosunek do pracy. Ludzie czasem są rozpszczeni przez czterdzieści lat systemu, który mieliśmy. A poza tym przez to nasze narodowe poczucie, że jesteśmy stworzeni do czegoś wyższego niż sprzątanie klozetu, zajmowanie się czystością ulic, układanie przyzwoicie asfaltu czy instalowanie rur wodociągowych tak, żeby nie ciekły. To żenująco przyziemne. Do tego w ogóle nie jesteśmy stworzeni. My, którzy jesteśmy pępkiem świata. W moim przekonaniu w dużym stopniu nasz stosunek do pracy wynika z absurdalnego poczuci wyższości. Praca to jest coś właściwie nieistotnego.”

“Rosie and Johnny's relationship was being ripped to shreds, with the press and public pawing over the pieces like wild dogs. The emotional chasm between Dominic and Pet had been torn even wider. Apparently, Sylvie had been wasting time, money, and ingredients for months, constantly defending this woman to Jay. And someone intimately connected to the Starlight Circus had just called her décor "kitsch." "Penny," she said very calmly, with a smile just as vague, just as airy, and just as malicious, "get the fuck out of my home." Penny tossed her head---and froze as Mabel walked toward her, hips swinging, also smiling. That smile had more eerie impact than every lighting effect in the Dark Forest combined. The intern took a step back, but halted in momentary confusion when Mabel offered her the lollipop. She took the candy skull automatically, and then shrieked as Mabel---tiny, deceptively delicate Mabel---made a blur of a movement with her foot and Penny tumbled across her shoulders. Whistling, Mabel walked toward the back door and out into the alley, wearing Penny around her neck like a scarf. Through the window, Sylvie watched as her assistant calmly threw the intern into the dumpster. As a stream of profanity drifted from the piles of rubbish--most of which, incidentally, was all the ingredients Penny had purposely wasted--Mabel returned to the kitchen. "I'll be off, then," she said, collecting her bag and coat from their hook. "Have a good night," Sylvie returned serenely. As Mabel passed her, without turning her head or altering her expression, their hands fleetingly clasped. The door swung closed, leaving Sylvie alone with Dominic in a lovely, clean kitchen, while her former intern made a third cross attempt to clamber from the trash.”
