„I know love is eternal, so also are folly, lies and roses.“
— Alice Borchardt, book The Silver Wolf

„He said truth has a taste, and this had the taste of truth. A wolf would put it that way, but I agree it does. Some things just don’t hang together, but others do. And a lot of times when you encounter it, you say, “I don’t want this to be right, but it probably is, even though it brings me to grief.”“
