“Ένας άνθρωπος που γράφει βιβλία, ξεχωρίζει απ' τον άλλο κόσμο. Αυτή ήταν η γνώμη αυτουνού, του Γιούγκερμαν, που δεν διάβαζε ποτέ του τίποτα.”

“What is a ghost?
A tragedy condemned to repeat
itself time and again?
A moment of pain, perhaps.
Something dead which
still seems to be alive.
An emotion suspended in time.
Like a blurred photograph.
Like an insect trapped in amber.
A ghost.
That's what I am.”

“Ήταν πιο δύσκολο να είσαι η ωραιότερη στην Κυψέλη παρά η ωραιότερη στον κόσμο. Στην Κυψέλη σε έβλεπαν κάθε μέρα στο δρόμο, δεν σε ψήφιζαν βαμμένη, με μουσική από πίσω, ούτε σε γνώριζαν απ' τα περιοδικά, σε είχαν αγαπήσει χωρίς φωτογένεια.”

“And I sit here alone and far from you and it’s night and I’m reflecting on everything all around me and I am thinking of you. I saw it in your eyes, in your love, you too are swinging towards the depths of your own being in longer and longer circles. I saw happiness and pain in your eyes and reflections of the paradises lost and regained and lost again, that terrible loneliness and happiness, yes, and I reflect upon this and I think about you.

“The Wind Will Carry Us
In my night, so brief, alas
The wind is about to meet the leaves.
My night so brief is filled with devastating anguish
Hark! Do you hear the whisper of the shadows?
This happiness feels foreign to me.
I am accustomed to despair.
Hark! Do you hear the whisper of the shadows?
There, in the night, something is happening
The moon is red and anxious.
And, clinging to this roof
That could collapse at any moment,
The clouds, like a crowd of mourning women,
Await the birth of the rain.
One second, and then nothing.
Behind this window,
The night trembles
And the earth stops spinning.
Behind this window, a stranger
Worries about me and you.
You in your greenery,
Lay your hands – those burning memories –
On my loving hands.
And entrust your lips, replete with life's warmth,
To the touch of my loving lips
The wind will carry us!
The wind will carry us!”
