“Zza szklanej witryny kusiły ciasta i desery, torty i tartaletki, muffiny i ptysie, kielichy tęczowych galaretek i deserów owocowych - wszystko co niezbędne, by złamać najtwardszego orędownika bezcukrowej diety. Przez aromat świeżo mielonej kawy wyraźnie przebijał się zapach czekolady, śmietany i słabej woli.”

“To translate is never simple. To translate is to betray at the borders, it’s to cheat, it’s to trade one sentence for another. To translate is one of the only human activities in which one is required to lie about the details to convey the truth at large. To translate is to risk understanding better than others that the truth about a word is not single, but double, even triple, quadruple, or quintuple. To translate is to distance oneself from God’s truth, which, as everyone knows or believes, is single.”
― David Diop, At Night All Blood is Black

“Ona jest niezniszczalna. Wrzucisz taką do wulkanu, to ci pamiątki przyniesie.”
