Quote by Jamie Ford

“Women settle for the administration of men, which is worthless. A dog will admire trees all day but only respect a sharp stick. That's what Madam Flora always says. She tells us that we need to make our own way in the world and not rely on a man for anything. Sometimes that means we have to take what we want for a change.”

“I ain't seen you in Junto's before, baby,' said Boots Smith. 'I don't go there very often,' she said. There was something faintly contemptuous about the way he said 'baby.' He made it sound like 'bebe,' and it slipped casually, easily, out of his mouth as though it were his own handy, one-word index of women.”

“After rain, when the cloud is still low, the hard edges of Florence are softened like Leonardo's sfumato. Smoky lines transforming from shadow to a light that appears as if cast through white silk, so that it falls about the city in a cloud-tinted mist.”

“Sura gyorsan összebarátkozott az újonnan érkezőkkel, Már teljesen meg is feledkezett a közöttük tátongó korkülönbségről, Egy alkalommal, amikor az ifjak elmentek újratölteni az italokat, maguk maradtak Tatjával. A fiatal nő barátságosan megfogta Sura kezét, majd így szólt: - Kedves Alekszandra Julianovna, bárcsak több időt tölthetnél itt. Ó, annyit mulathatnánk együtt. Sura ugyanolyan őszinteséggel válaszolt. - El tudom képzelni, Tatjána Tchoupilkina... - A közeli barátaim Tatyának hívnak. - Rendben van, Tatya. - Sajnos Dzselil és Kurt Szejit nemsoká távoynak Moszkvából. - Gyakran jönnek ide ? - Nem igazán. Soha nem tudni, hogy mikor tévednek ide legközelebb. Ahova a cár megy, oda szólítja őket a kötelesség. Nem mondhatnám, hogy unalmas életük van. Erre élénken felkacagott. - Tudod mit, kedves Alekszandra... - Szólíts nyugodtan Surának. Tatjána tovább kacagott. - Igen, kedves Sura, tudod mit ? Ha nem volnék balerina, akkor azt kívánnám, hadd lehessek az ő helyükben. Sura nem értette, hogy miért akarna a férfiak helyébe lépni egy ilyen híres és tündérszép hölgy, aki könnyedén elbűvölte a másik nem tagjait. Kérdő pillantást vetett felé, melytől Tatjána ismét elnevette magát.”
