“„Alkudj meg! Csak egyszer. Mit számít az? – Mindent. A megalkuvás olyan, mint a leszaladt szem a nylonharisnyán. A szem fut tovább – és az ember végül leszaladt szemekből áll.”
Erzsébet Galgóczi, Another Love: A Novel

“Tizennyolc éves koromban, amikor nagykorú lettem, tudod, mi jutott eszembe? Nem az, hogy mától kezdve szavazati jogom van; nem az, hogy szülői beleegyezés nélkül is férjhez mehetek; nem az, hogy az örökségemmel – ha volna ilyen! – magam rendelkezhetem; hanem az, hogy mostantól kezdve fel is akaszthatnak azért, amiért tegnap még csak javítóintézetbe csuktak volna. Szóval a törvény jutott eszembe…”
