"If something is your own, you're entitled to have a critical opinion of it, more so then of things that aren't yours. You can be very critical of your own wife, less so of your friend's wife. Of the people we love, we demand and expect more; it's the same with places. For me, England can be as it likes, but Poland I'd like to be different. It's never the way I'd like it to be, but I have the right to those expectations. It's awful, but it's mine! And I couldn't live anywhere else. I like Paris, and lived there a few years, but I couldn't live there forever."
(Krzysztof Kiéslowski)
