“ Gdybym tylko mógł wziąć roczny urlop od wszystkiego, kupić przyczepę, podróżować z tobą po całym świecie, dobrze jeść, pić i tak spać z tobą przez wszystkie noce, a rankiem wstawać powoli, dojrzeć przez okno jakiś las, spacerować wokół jeziora, położyć się w trawie, zmrużyć oczy w słońcu; tylko rok, a potem byłbym gotów wrócić i już nie prosiłbym o nic więcej dla siebie. Nie mam żadnych pretensji do życia, tylko żeby czasami zwolniło ten ucisk na szyi. Żeby tylko pozwoliło trochę żyć. ”

“ - Słabo pan zna kobiety, mój przyjacielu. Na dnie najczystszej przyjaźni migoce iskierka kokieterii.
– Słabo zna pani mężczyzn, młoda damo. Na dnie najczystszej choćby przyjaźni tli się płomyczek pożądania. Bez tych płomyczków i iskierek przyjaźń byłaby tylko znajomością. ”
