“She was looking for something I could never give her." Again his dark eyes bored into Julia's mind. "You have something of the same about you, young woman. Take my advice: Don't think you will find it in another person. You won't. It's not there. You must find it in yourself.”

“Koliko puta ste poželjeli da vas nema, da izmaknete tuđim pogledima, da bar za tren budete skriveni od tuđih razmišljanja i sudova? Koliko ste puta, dakle, poželjeli da budete nevidljivi, dostupni i spoznatljivi samo sebi? Nevidljivost, fantazija rasplamtjele mašte, nevidljivost kao jeftina dosjetka iz starih naučno-fantastičnih i horor filmova. I tu se stvar završava. Svijet, i mi u njemu, uvijek će ostati vidljiv, možda i previše vidljiv, i dok se probijamo kroz njegovu iritirajuću očitost, samo ponekad pomislit ćemo kako bi dobro bilo biti nevidljiv.”

“When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete, everyone will respect you.”
