“Human relationships were strange. I mean, you were with one person a while, eating and sleeping and living with them, loving them, talking to them, going places together, and then it stopped. Then there was a short period when you weren't with anybody, then another woman arrived, and you ate with her and fucked her, and it all seemed so normal, as if you had been waiting just for her and she had been waiting for you. I never felt right being alone; sometimes it felt good but it never felt right.”

“Todos vivimos en un infierno, Elena, todos, pero no le pasamos la factura a nadie. ¿Sabes por qué? Porque cada uno de nosotros elige su propio infierno, aquel en el que se encuentra más cómodo. Sé que a veces desprecias mi afición al dinero y que te has desligado por completo de mis negocios, de nuestros negocios, porque también son tuyos. Pues bien, gracias a esos negocios puedo costearme los infiernos que quiero y no ando por ahí contándole a nadie de mis desgracias. Lo que te ocurre a ti es que todavía ignoras en qué infierno quieres vivir. Averígualo, date el tiempo que necesites y cuando lo sepas dímelo. Creo que podré pagártelo por caro que resulte. Entretanto, procuremos tener un poco de calma, por favor.”

“Auschwitz is outside of us, but it is all around us, in the air. The plague has died away, but the infection still lingers and it would be foolish to deny it. Rejection of human solidarity, obtuse and cynical indifference to the suffering of others, abdication of the intellect and of moral sense to the principle of authority, and above all, at the root of everything, a sweeping tide of cowardice, a colossal cowardice which masks itself as warring virtue, love of country and faith in an idea.”
