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… - 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.

Additional quotes by Karel Čapek
Očevi obično ne žele da njihovi sinovi rade nešto drugo u odnosu na njih; moj Bože, i ja sam bio takav prema svojim sinovima. Očinstvo je inače nekakav izmiješan osjećaj; u njemu je velika ljubav, ali i neka opsjednutost, nepovjerenje, neprijateljstvo ili ne znam kako bih to rekao; što otac više voli svoju djecu, to je u njemu više i onoga drugog osjećaja.
