"Of course it is possible I don't know who Judith is, maybe it's the name of the play she was shouting. For a short while I felt myself surrounded by a cloud of sadness. I constantly find myself in situations where I don't know something and Ie to pretend that I do, and constantly having to pay attention makes me really tired sometimes. And I'm always supposed to feel ashamed when words come up that I don't know, and people are never good to me so I have the courage to tell them, 'I know I'm stupid but I have a good memory, and when you explain something to me, I make every effort to remember it.'"

p.67
"At the Jockey Bar I met the Red Moon -- his wife is on vacation because times are bad and seaside resorts are cheaper in October than in July. He happened to be at the Jockey Bar by coincidence, as he's traditional and he's disgusted by the new times because of their lax morals and politics. He wants the Kaiser back and is writing novels and is well-known from the past. He also says that he has esprit. And his principle is: men can and women cannot. So I'm asking myself: how can men do it without women? What an idiot!"
