"Love is not a greenhouse plant, but a wild flower brought to life by a rainy night and an hour of sunlight; it sprouts from a wild seed and is driven along the road by a wild wind. This wild flower, if it happens to bloom inside the fence of our garden, is called a plant, if outside it, a weed, but whether it is a plant or a weed, its smell and color are always wild.

""A szerelem nem melegházi növény, hanem vadvirág, amelyet egy esős éjszaka, egyórai napfény kelt életre; vad magból sarjad és vad szél űzi végig az úton. Ezt a vadvirágot, ha történetesen kertünk kerítésén belül virul, növénynek nevezzük, ha azon kívül, gyomnak, de akár növény, akár gyom, illata és színe mindig vad."
