“Čemu bi uopšte život trebalo da vodi? Kad već hoćeš da čuješ šta mislim o tome, reći ću ti: samo bez aplauza, molim! Neću da utucam ovaj svoj životić u nekom nreperstanom čekanju. Šta radiš celog bogovetnog dana, samo nešto čekaš? Platu, večeru, proleće, letovanje, zimu, da provri ručak, da se ugreje peć, maturu, pa fakultet, pa muža, pa decu, pa unuke, pa kišu, pa sunce, pa da prestane vetar, pa da otplatiš kredit, pa da ti se očiste dosadni gosti iz kuće, pa da poče predstava, da počne neka televizijska masaža – i šta si radio? Ništa! Neprestano si nekog đavola čekao i on je stvarno stigao jednog dana, taj đavo, mislim, ali sorry, bilo je već kasno. Hoću da mi se sve dešava odmah. Evo sada! Hoću da ćutim i slušam muziku koja mi se dopada i da nipta ne čekam, već samo da postojim, tako nekako – da osećam ruke, noge, zube, nepce, kosu; jednom rečju oću da baš sad živim, ako si razumeo šta oću da kažem?”
Momo Kapor, Beleške jedne Ane

“Svakoga dana pronalazio bi po koju zaboravljenu Uninu stvarčicu, iz koje bi ga nasmešeno gledale njene srneće oči. Kada je jedanput istresao madrac, pronašao je tri ukosnice, napukli češalj sa srebrnim zvezdama, četvrt čokolade punjene kokosom i do pola popušenu kutiju "Marlboroa". U kupatilu je otkrio ljubičasti ruž za usne i vatu. Fetišista! Je li to sve što ostaje posle ljubavi? I šta, uopšte, ostaje posle nje? Telefonski broj koji lagano bledi u pamćenju? Čaše sa ugraviranim monogramima ukradene u "Esplanadi". Posle ljubavi ostaje običaj da se belo vino sipa u te dve čaše, i da crte budu na istoj visini. Posle ljubavi ostaje jedan sto u kafani kod znaka "?" i začuđeni pogled starog kelnera što nas vidi sa drugima. Posle ljubavi ostaje rečenica: "Divno izgledaš, nisi se ništa promenila..." I: "Javi se ponekad, još imaš moj broj telefona." I neki brojevi hotelskih soba u kojima smo spavali ostaju posle ljubavi. Posle ljubavi ostaju tamne ulice kojima smo se vraćali posle ljubavi. Ostaju tajni znaci, ljubavne šifre: "Ako me voliš, započni sutrašnje predavanje sa tri reči koje će imati početna slova mog imena..." Ušao je u amfiteatar i kazao: "U našoj avangardi..." Poslala mu je poljubac. Posle ljubavi ostaje tvoja strana postelje i strah da će neko iznenada naići. Klak - spuštena slušalica kada se javi tuđi glas. Hiljadu i jedna laž. Posle ljubavi ostaje rečenica koja luta kao duh po sobi: "Ja ću prva u kupatilo!" - i pitanje: "Zar nećemo zajedno?" Ovaj put, ne. Posle ljubavi ostaju saučesnici: čuvari tajni koje više nisu nikakve tajne. Posle ljubavi ostaje laka uznemirenost kad u prolazu udahnem "Cabochard" na nekoj nepoznatoj, crnomanjastoj devojci. Prepune pepeljare i prazno srce. Navika da se pale dve cigarete, istovremeno, mada nema nikog u blizini. Fotografije snimljene u automatu, taksisti koji nas nikada nisu voleli ( "Hvala što ne pušite!" - a pušili smo), i cvećarke koje jesu. Posle ljubavi ostaje povređena sujeta. Metalni ukus promašenosti na usnama. Posle ljubavi ostaju drugi ljudi i druge žene. Posle ljubavi, ne ostaje ništa. Sranje...”

“Ja uopšte mislim da najčudniji ljudi izgledaju vrlo konvencionalno, vrlo
standardno. Jer čovek koji je zaista čudan iznutra, onaj koji je u dubokom
nesporazumu sa svetom koji ga ne prihvata i ne shvata, ne oseća nikakvu
potrebu da se ukrašava spolja, da privlači ičiju pažnju. Naprotiv! On želi
da se sakrije. Ima li čudnijeg ljudskog stvorenja od Kafke, na primer, a on
je gotovo čitavog života radio u jednom osiguravajućem društvu u Pragu,
ne razlikujući se spolja od ostalih činovnika.”
Momo Kapor, Una
