Mint Quote by Carlos Ruiz Zafón
““A férfi olyan hamar felmelegszik, mint a villanykörte: egy pillanat alatt tűzbe jön, s ugyanilyen hamar ki is hűl. Ellenben a nő - s ez tudományosan bizonyított tény - úgy melegszik fel, mint a vasaló. Lassan, fokozatosan forr fel, mint a jó húsleves. De ha egyszer átforrósodott, nincs, aki lehűtse.””
