“-Cijeli sam dan o tome razmišljala - rekla je. - I po glavi mi se neprestano vrti izraz slobodan pad, mislim da se gotovo radi o oksimoronu. Jedini slobodni pad koji sam ikad vidjela bio je pad umjetnika na trapezu kad se, nakon krajnje napetih i napornih majstorija na zanjihanoj prečki i hvatanja u posljednji trenutak pod svjetlima reflektora, može odjednom otpustiti i pasti opušten i slobodan u sigurnost pod njim razapete mreže, vraćajući se na zemlju. Ali većina padova nije slobodna. Čini mi se da uvijek postoji napetost između onoga otkud i kamo padaš.”

“Free as a bird' was the expression, and yet they weren't free at all, not as far as Saffy could tell: they were bound to one another by their habits, their seasonal needs, their biology, their nature, their birth. No freer than anyone else. Still, they knew the exhilaration of flight.”
― Kate Morton, The Distant Hours

“Doors lead to things and I've never met one I haven't wanted to open.”
