“Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”

“Dakle, drage moje devojčice, nije uopšte važno imate li četrnaest, sedamnaest, dvadest ili pedeset šest godina! Susretao sam ja i devojčice od sedamdeset dve, i odmah se nekako videlo da su još klinke: mislim, videlo se to po načinu na koji su zrikale unaokolo i krile smešak u prste, kako su isprobavale perike sa loknama boje zlata u robnoj kući, ogledajući se malčice iskosa i vrlo koketno – bile su to prave klinke od sedamdeset dve godine, na časnu reč! Jer, drage moje naglo ostarele devojčice, niste vi krive što se život našalio sa vama, pa vas jednog jutra probudio kao i obično u pola šest, kad ono 8 banki! Opa! A vi se još pitate da li je 1900. i neke trebalo da popustite jednom putujućem glumcu i dozvolite mu da vas poljubi, pitate se i pitate, a sve idete na prstima da ne probudite unuke; bosim nogama šljapkate po betonu (koliko sam vam samo puta rekao da navučete papuče, a vi opet ništa!), oblačite se onako još spvajući i ložite peć, pa ronite kroz jutarnji smog da kupite kilo polubelog, paklo butera, jogurt, kifle, mortadelu... – atamo vec 8 banki, a još niste načisto da li je trebalo dozvoliti onom putujućem glumcu da vas coki, ili nije?”
