“Radost
Ukrast ću ovu knjigu,
drhte mi ruke od radosti,
ukrast ću je.
U džepu imam novce koji mi
gotovo ničemu ne služe,
ipak, neću je kupiti,
ukrast ću je.
Ukrast ću ti je, ludi svijete,
zato sam tu.”

“Things to say when in love
i. I want to make you a planet.
ii. I will put the galaxy in your hair.
iii. Your kisses are a mouthful of firewater.
iv. I have never seen a more beautiful horizon than when you close your eyes. and
v. I have never seen a more beautiful dawn than when you open your eyes.”

“Sometimes I go for days without speaking to a soul. I think, “I should make that call", but I put it off. Because there’s something pleasurable about not talking. But then I love talking, so it’s not that. But sometimes it can be nice. It’s not like I sit here philosophizing, because I’ve no talent for that. It’s just this thing about silence that’s so wonderful.”
