Quotes 

• Hanna : Are you leaving me?

  Andrei : You're not the kind of person to need anyone's support. And besides, you have that clay plate I gave you. It resembles me perfectly.

• Hanna : 'Your children will look like me' said a friend of mine to her lover as he left her.

  Costea : And did they?

  Hanna : Yes. And he didn't love them.

• Hanna : I've been waiting for the great love, which kept not coming. I waisted no emotion, no thrill, no thought, collecting and keeping like an unmarried woman. And the great love came: late, when I wasn't waiting anymore... unwanted and terrible, like a disease. It isn't happiness. It's a disease. One must lie till it passed, or till it kills you... overcome it, or die.
