Quote by Simon Sebag Montefiore
““- Nego, kako ti je žena? On odmahnu glavom. - Ja sam duhom daleko od svog doma. Dolazim i odlazim kao avet. Uviđam i sam da sumnjam u sve u šta sam nekada verovao. - (...) a s kim ti razgovaraš? - Ni sa kim. Ne sa svojom ženom. Pomislim ponekad kako si ti možda jedina s kojom ne moram da se pretvaram jer nas dvoje se samo napola znamo, nismo bliski prijatelji, shvataš? Sašenjka se nasmeši. - Kakav smo mi čudan par! Zatvorila je oči i pustila da joj vetar i pahuljice snega hlade lice.””
