Additional quotes by Karel Čapek
Why are there stars when there are no people? O God, why don't you just extinguish them? — Cool my brow, ancient night! Divine and fair as you always were — O night, what purpose do you serve? There are no lovers, no dreams. O nursemaid, dead as a sleep without dreams, you no longer hallow anyone's prayers. O mother of us all, you don't bless a single heart smitten with love. There is no love.

„Друго нещо, което прави впечатление на пътешественика в Англия, са английските тревни площи – не само зелени и гъсти като никъде другаде по света, но по тях е разрешено и да се ходи свободно. Предполагам, че Англия е станала земя на свободата за това, защото там е разрешено да се гази по тревните площи. Може би затова в историята на Англия е имало толкова малко революции, защото британците са могли да задоволяват непрекъснато инстинкта си за свобода само с ходене по поляните. Не смятам за изключено дори и това, че Британия е започнала да владее вълните, защото си е представяла морето като голяма затревена площ, по която всеки е свободен да се отправя в каквато посока си иска.
