“Kõik, mis on täiuslik ja vastuoludeta, peab kaduma. Täiuslikuks saamise hetk on tema lõpp-punkt, edasi pole tal enam kohta. Muidugi ei tähenda see, et ta kohe otsa saaks - aga ta sureb paratamatult, elu lahkub temast, ükskõik, kui kaua ta füüsiliselt siin meie keskel ringi ka ei liiguks. Ja see ei ole see täiuslikkus, mida teil enda ümber vaja on, uskuge mind.”
― Rein Raud, Hotell Amalfi

“Congratulations," I said. "It's so wonderful to write a book." "I walked all the way here," she said. "I started at midnight. I would have gotten here sooner if I weren't so old."

It was a loose-leaf notebook of the type that you find everywhere in America. There is no place that does not have them. There was a heavy label pasted on the cover and written in broad green crayon across the label was the title: GROWING FLOWERS BY CANDLELIGHT IN HOTEL ROOMS BY MRS. CHARLES FINE ADAMS”
