" When I watched you dancing that day, I saw something else. I saw a new world coming rapidly. More scientific, efficient, yes. More cures for the old sicknesses. Very good. But a harsh, cruel world. And I saw a little girl, her eyes tightly closed, holding to her breast the old kind world, one that she knew in her heart could not remain, and she was holding it and pleading, never to let her go. That is what I saw. It wasn’t really you, what you were doing, I know that. But I saw you and it broke my heart. And I’ve never forgotten. "

" Mindig az jár a fejemben, hogy van valahol egy folyó, aminek nagyon gyors a sodrása. És ott a vízben az a két ember, és kapaszkodnak egymásba, kapaszkodnak, ahogy csak tudnak, de végül nem bírják tovább. Túlságosan erős az áramlat. El kell engedniük egymást, és elsodródnak egymástól. Úgy érzem, hogy velünk is ez a helyzet. Igazán kár, Kath, mert egész életünkben szerettük egymást. Mégsem maradhatunk együtt örökre. "
