“Nevješt sam razgovoru sa ženama, pogotovo sa ženama njene ljepote i njenih godina. Oko trideset, čini mi se. Mlade djevojke zamišljaju život i vjeruju riječima. Starice se boje smrti i s uzdahom slušaju o raju. Ovakve znaju vrijednost svega što gube i dobijaju, i uvijek imaju svoje razloge, koji mogu biti čudni, ali su rijetko naivni. Njihove zrele oči su slobodne i kad se obaraju, neugodno otvorene, i kad se skrivaju trepavicama. Najneugodnije je što znamo da one znaju više nego što pokazuju, i da nas mjere svojim neobičnim mjerilima, koja teško saznajemo.”

“But legends are part of great events, and if they help keep alive the memory of gallant self-sacrifice, they serve their purpose.”

“Allan thought it sounded unnecessary for the people in the seventeenth century to kill each other. If they had only been a little patient they would all have died in the end anyway. Julius said that you could say the same of all epochs.”
