“Es gibt keine passenden Wörter fürs Hungerleiden. Ich muss dem Hunger heute noch zeigen, dass ich ihm entkommen bin. Ich esse buchstäblich das Leben selbst, seit ich nicht mehr hungern muss. Ich bin eingesperrt in den Geschmack des Essens, wenn ich esse. Ich esse seit meiner Heimkehr aus dem Lager, seit sechzig Jahren, gegen das Verhungern.”

“Tu auras tous les baisers que tu veux, je te le promets, tous les baisers que tu n'as pas eus, des millions de baisers, des milliards et des trillions de caresses. — Pour ça, il faudra vivre longtemps.”
