- Dorotean huulet liikkuivat, kun hän toisti aviomiehensä nimen, mutta se ei saanut häntä tuntemaan mitään. Nimi niin kuin mikä tahansa. Eikö sen olisi pitänyt läikyttää häntä, saada vedet valumaan yli? Mutta Otto, miten yksinkertainen nimi. Ei tietoakaan siitä, miten paljon enemmän elämä voi olla kuin kaksi konsonanttia ja kaksi vokaalia.
- Dorotea's lips moved as she repeated the name of ther husband, but it couldn't make her feel anything. The name was just like anything else. Wasn't it supposed to make her spill a bit and make the waters flow over? But Otto was such a simple name. It has no whiff of how much more life can be than two consonants and two vowels.
