“Овде све супруге, заиста је употребила реч супруге, морају да рачунају с тим да ће им мужеви упасти у млин за папир или да ће им млин за папир бар одсећи једну руку или неколико прстију, рече, у ствари, сваки дан се догађа да млин за папир повреди неког од њих и у крају живе само мушкарци које је млин за папир осакатио. Деведесет процената свих мушкараца раде овде у фабрици папира, рече. С децом ове немају других планова, него да их пошаљу у фабрику папира, рече, већ генерацијама траје исти механизам, помислих. А ако фабрика пропадне, рече, онда ће сви остати на цедилу.”

“I once had to say this on a show many years ago, and I truly believe it: Loneliness is a choice. I like to be alone; I’m more comfortable alone. But I do recognize that I take it too far sometimes and so I try to force myself to keep up with being sociable. I just am a bit of a lone ranger; I always have been. But I don’t believe that necessarily has to translate to being lonely. You can be lonely in a crowd of a thousand people. I can be in a hotel room on my own and not feel lonely. It all comes down to how comfortable you are with who you are in the silence.”

“I have a lot of work to do today;
I need to slaughter memory,
Turn my living soul to stone
Then teach myself to live again.”
