As they ate, Hippothous told them a tale of love, lust, subterfuge, murder, flight, shipwreck, loss and exile – a tale worthy of a Greek romance. ‘Probably from a fucking Greek romance,’ muttered Calgacus. ↗

I snipped off the stem and took a knee. "For you, my love. A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet as your feet." Jules smacked me on the back of the head. ↗

You had not associated saintliness with Chicago? Probably not. But he associates everything he is or ever has been with Chicago, and it would never enter into his mind for an instant that there is in the world any city where he would be or where he would wish to be, more in place than in Chicago. He has grown up with her and loves her like a mother ↗

Х- Какво е любовен егоизъм? Y- Да си пълен егоист и да обичаш друг пълен егоист. Х - Ама това е невъзможно. Егоизмът означава само себелюбие. Y - Как да не е възможно?! За мен любовта е движеща креативна енергия, много по-силна от силата на егоизма. Ще я подхраня с още една доза егоизъм и дори ще прибавя утилитаризъм. Х - Ама как така? Любовта никога не може да бъде планувана. Y - Забрави да напишеш "краткотрайната". Забрави да кажеш и, че любовта е субективна. Аз обичам по един начин, мен ме обичат по друг. Какво нещо са думичките, а...?! Х - Не знам. Y - И аз. Затова ме обичай. X - Ама ти си голям егоист... Y - Затова те обичам. ↗

Sonia's terribly fond of juggling with people's lives. I never shall forget when she made me go to her doctor...I can only say he very nearly killed me. It's not her fault if I'm here today. She's entirely unscrupulous. She gets a hold over people much too easily, with her charm and her prestige, and then forces her own values on them. ↗

Die Sinnlichkeit übereilt oft das Wachsthum der Liebe, so dass die Wurzel schwach bleibt und leicht auszureissen ist. ↗

Tutkin hänen sydämensä mekaniikkaa intohimoisesti, yritän avata kiinni juuttuneita lukkoja lempeillä avaimilla. Jotkin kohdat tuntuvat olevan iäksi suljettuja. ↗
