“Perfume is magic. It’s mystery. We recreate the smell of a flower. Of wood. Of grass. We capture the essence of life. Liquefy it. We store memories. We make dreams,” he told her once. “What we do is a wonder, an art, and we have a responsibility to do it well.”
― M.J. Rose, Seduction

“Većina nas ima svoje omiljeno, herojsko razdoblje života; ovo je bilo Diverovo.”
― Francis Scott Fitzgerald

“What we talk about less often, because it is harder to explain, is the way a perfume can give breath and body to the phantom selves that waft about us as we go through our days -- not just the showgirl, the femme fatale, and the ingenue, but all the memories and dreams of the taller, meaner, sharper, sweeter, softer people we have been or long to be.”
― Alyssa Harad, Coming to My Senses: A Story of Perfume, Pleasure, and an Unlikely Bride

“Apartman u kojem je Devereux Warren spokojno slabio i gasnuo bio je jednako velik kao i onaj senora Parda y Cuidad Reala - u ovom je hotelu bilo mnogo soba u kojima imućne ruine, bjegunci pred pravdom, pretendenti na prijestolju razvlaštenih državica, žive na derivatima opijuma ili barbitola, vječno slušajući neizbježan radio, surove napjeve starih grijeha. Ovaj kutak Europe ne privlači toliko ljude, koliko ih prihvaća bez neugodnih pitanja.”
― Francis Scott Fitzgerald
