“ylko jednego nie możemy wybaczyć. Sukcesu. No trudno, nie dajemy rady. Próbowaliśmy i nic. Ja nie mówię, że jesteśmy jedynym krajem, co się specjalizuje w zawiści. [...] Jest taki ponury żart trochę na temat, że wyłowiona złota rybka obiecuje rybakowi, że da mu wszystko, co on chce, ale żeby wzmóc w nim chrześcijańskie miłosierdzie, informuje, że sąsiad dostanie dwa razy tyle. I rybak, bez wahania, wypowiada życzenie: "chcę stracić jedno oko".”

“They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.
But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.
Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.”
