“Ji išėjo nieko nepaaiškinusi. Todėl negalima atleisti savižudžiams. Jie išeina nepalikę jokios žinutės, jokio sumauto raštelio, išeina visiems laikams, o mums tenka tik graužtis, kad mes dėl to kalti. Net jeigu paliktų šimtus raštelių, tai nieko nekeistų. Visokie valkatos mums rašo raštelius, bet mes žinom, kad tai ne tie rašteliai, kurių mums reikia, kurie mus paguostų. Slapta viliamės, bet negalim savęs apgauti. Žinom, kad tai visiška kvailystė, vis tiek graužiamės. Kadangi niekad nesužinosim tiesos. Visi pasiaiškinimai, visi pasiteisinimai bus tiktai mūsų pačių noras kaip nors nusimesti atsakomybės naštą.”
― Sigitas Parulskis, Vėjas mano akys

You should expect to be happy every day. Anyone who says marriage is hard might need to see someone. My marriage is the easiest thing in my life. Other things are hard, and the thing that makes everything easier is my marriage. That’s not to say that a marriage is without challenges, but hard should not be your general state.”
― Tan France, Naturally Tan
