"- Are you saying that what is past is past, and what happened in the past has nothing to do with today? But there is! (...) Things are connected in such a strange way that an ordinary mortal would not imagine! - So something is happening now because something else happened in the past? - Like this. Chain reaction. Causal relationship. It's like a string of pearls. Pearl, chain links, then another pearl.

""- Azt akarod mondani, hogy ami elmúlt, elmúlt, és hajdan történteknek semmi köze a mához? De bizony van! (...) Olyan furcsa módon kapcsolódnak össze a dolgok, ahogyan közönséges halandó nem is gondolná! - Azaz valami azért történik meg most, mert valami más megtörtént a múltban? - Valahogy így. Láncreakció. Ok-okozati kapcsolat. Olyan, akár a gyöngyfüzér. Gyöngyszem, láncszemek, aztán megint egy gyöngyszem."
