    “Ή όπως όταν βρέχει ασταμάτητα, για μέρες -και κάποτε αίφνης σταματάει: δεν είναι τότε ακριβώς που ακούμε πραγματικά τη βροχή; Που συνηθήσαμε στο άκουσμά της και δεν μας έκανε πια εντύπωση, και μόνο όταν σταμάτησε την αντιληφθήκαμε; Δεν συνέβη, όταν όλα ησυχάζουν εκεί έξω, να σκεφτούμε 'έβρεχε', ενώ όσο έβρεχε μας διέφευγε το συμβάν και ο ήχος;”
