    “Nelíbí se mi to,” sdílela jsem svoje obavy s Gabem, když jsme o hodinu později kráčeli prázdným parkem. Nikdo s rozumem tu nezůstával po setmění, akorát jste si tím koledovali o problémy. Zloději a drogoví dealeři nám vrásky nedělali. „Něco tu smrdí.”
    Matt, který šel s Jamiem několik kroků před námi, si odfrkl. „Strávili jsme půl dne v kanálech. Nejspíš to budeme my.”

    “One of the most frustrating words in the human language, as far as I could tell, was love.
    So much meaning attached to this one little word. People bandied it about freely, using it to
    describe their attachments to possessions, pets, vacation destinations, and favorite foods. In the
    same breath they then applied this word to the person they considered most important in their
    lives. Wasn’t that insulting? Shouldn’t there be some other term to describe deeper emotion?”

    “Finally he spoke the three simple words that no amount of bad art or bad faith can every quite cheapen. She repeated them, with exactly the same slight emphasis on the second word, as though she were the one to say them first. He had no religious belief, but it was impossible not to think of an invisible presence or witness in the room, and that these words spoken aloud were like signatures on an unseen contract.”

    Ian McEwan
    “How can a novelist achieve atonement when, with her absolute power of deciding outcomes, she is also God? There is no one, no entity or higher form that she can appeal to, or be reconciled with, or that can forgive her. There is nothing outside her. In her imagination she has set the limits and the terms. No atonement for God, or novelists, even if they are atheists. It was always an impossible task, and that was precisely the point. The attempt was all.”
