"The most important things are the hardest to say. When you talk about them, you feel ridiculous, because when you put them into words, they shrink - while they are in your head, they seem limitless, but when they are spoken, they become insignificant. But I think there's more to it than that. The most important things lurk too close to the place where your soul's most dreaded secrets are buried, guiding you like beacons to the treasure your enemies would so love to steal. And if you do try to talk about them, you only get strange looks from the audience in return, they don't understand at all, they don't understand why it's so important to you that you almost cry. And I think that's the worst. When the secret stays a secret not because of you, but because there is no one to understand.

""A legfontosabb dolgokat a legnehezebb elmondani. Ha ezekről beszélsz, nevetségesnek érzed magad, hiszen szavakba öntve összezsugorodnak - amíg a fejedben vannak, határtalannak tűnnek, de kimondva jelentéktelenné válnak. Ám azt hiszem, többről van itt szó. A legfontosabb dolgok túl közel lapulnak ahhoz a helyhez, ahol a lelked legféltettebb titkai vannak eltemetve, irányjelzőkként vezetnek a kincshez, amit az ellenségeid oly szívesen lopnának el. S ha mégis megpróbálsz beszélni róluk, a hallgatóságtól csak furcsálló tekinteteket kapsz cserébe, egyáltalán nem értenek meg, nem értik, miért olyan fontos ez neked, hogy közben majdnem sírva fakadsz. És szerintem ez a legrosszabb. Amikor a titok nem miattad marad titok, hanem mert nincs, aki megértsen."
