“Mylėjau tave. Šildžiau tavo rankas, lanksčiau tavo pirštus, guldžiau tave ant savęs, kad greičiau sušiltum. Džiaugiausi kiekviena su tavimi praleista akimirka, taip, akimirka - jau tuomet vokiau, kad kiekviena, - iš kurgi vėliau būčiau viską taip gerai atsiminęs? Tokių žmonių kaip tu, Tūla, aš dar niekad nebuvau sutikęs - drovių, tarsi atsainių, bet be galo jautrių ir pažeidžiamų.”

“Once a woman turns against you, forget it. They can love you, then something turns in them. They can watch you dying in a gutter, run over by a car, and they'll spit on you.”

“And yet, or just for this reason, it's so fascinating to be a woman. It's an adventure that takes such courage, a challenge that's never boring. You'll have so many things to engage you if you're born a woman. To begin with, you'll have to struggle to maintain that if God exists he might even be an old woman with white hair or a beautiful girl. Then you'll have to struggle to explain that it wasn't sin that was born on the day when Eve picked an apple, what was born that day was a splendid virtue called disobedience.”

“One day you and I will have to have a little talk about this business called love. I still don't understand what it's all about. My guess is that it's just a gigantic hoax, invented to keep people quiet and diverted. Everyone talks about love: the priests, the advertising posters, the literati, and the politicians, those of them who make love. And in speaking of love and offering it as a panacea for every tragedy, they would and betray and kill both body and soul.”
