"If I had a fragment of life left, I would prove to people how wrong they are to think that they stop falling in love when they grow old, not knowing that they grow old when they stop falling in love.
If God forgot for a moment that I am just a rag puppet, and granted me a fragment of life, I might not say everything I think, but I would undoubtedly think everything I say.
I would value things not for what they are worth, but for what they mean. I would sleep less, dream more, for I have realized that for every minute we keep our eyes closed, we lose sixty seconds of light. I would walk when others stop, wake while others sleep. I would listen when others speak, and how I would enjoy a chocolate ice cream!..."

"Kada bih imao jedan komadić života, dokazivao bih ljudima koliko greše kada misle da prestaju da se zaljubljuju kada ostare, a ne znaju da su ostarili kada prestanu da se zaljubljuju.
Kada bi Bog za trenutak zaboravio da sam ja samo krpena marioneta, i podario mi komadić života, moguće je da ja ne bih kazao sve što mislim, ali nesumnjivo bih mislio sve što kažem.
Stvari bih cenio, ne po onome što vrede, već po onome što znače. Spavao bih manje, sanjao više, shvatio sam da svaki minut koji provedemo zatvorenih očiju gubimo šezdeset sekundi svetlosti. Hodao bih kada drugi zastanu, budio se dok ostali spavaju. Slušao bih druge kada govore, i kako bih uživao u sladoledu od čokolade!..."
