    Fear transforms your body like an inept sculptor does a perfect block of stone...It's just that you're chipped away at from within, and no one sees how many splinters and layers have been taken off you. You become ever thinner and more brittle inside, until eve the slightest emotion bowls you over. One hug, and you think you're going to shatter and be lost.

    Hesse's Stage came to Perdu's mind. Most people were familiar with the first line, of course: "In all beginnings dwells a magic force..." but very few people know the ending: "For guarding us and helping us to live." And hardly anyone realized that Hesse wasn't talking about new beginnings. He meant a readiness to bid farewell. Farewell to old habits, Farwell to illusions. Farewell to a long-expired life, in which one was nothing but a husk, rustled by the occasional sigh.

    - Paničan cvat, govorio je tata. Prije nego što se osuši, veliko drveće procvjeta još jedanput. Svu svoju snagu daje posljednjem izdanku, koji je još zdrav. Nedavno si mi rekao kako sam lijepa. Nalazim se na početku paničnog cvata. (...) - Manon Basset
