“Peter je zo svojho každodenného života zvyknutý dosť času tráviť sám, a tak mu to vyhovuje. Raz za čas sa skrátka potrebuje zamyslieť a zasnívať. Ak tú možnosť dlhodobo nemá, čo sa mu stane prvý raz práve tu v letnom tábore, začnú sa ho zmocňovať chmúrne myšlienky a úzkosť. Potrebuje samotu, aby unikol osamelosti. Osamelosť totiž nevzniká tým, že by človek nemal okolo seba ľudí, ale tým, že s nimi nemôže zdieľať veci, ktoré ho bavia a ktoré sa mu javia ako dôležité. A naopak, keď on považuje za nezmyselné veci, ktoré pre ostatných hrajú zásadnú úlohu. V takom prípade je potom už lepšia naozajstná, fyzická samota, keď si môže človek tráviť čas celkom po svojom.”

“They avoided one another's faces, for fear of what they might see mirrored there. Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I'm not stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard...
No one said anything. The cowards, thought each man.”

“I believe in reincarnation,” [Bjorn] said.
I KNOW.
“I tried to live a good life. Does that help?”
THAT’S NOT UP TO ME. Death coughed. OF COURSE... SINCE YOU BELIEVE IN REINCARNATION... YOU’LL BE BJORN AGAIN.”

“And when the Patrician was unhappy, he became very democratic. He found intricate and painful ways of spreading that unhappiness as far as possible.”
