Marianne:
Sometimes it's like husband and wife are talking on telephones that are out of order.
Johan:
You need to put a lot of effort into not caring.
Marianne:
We're pitiful, self-indulgent cowards that can't connect with reality and are ashamed of ourselves.
Johan:
Affection shouldn't be kept just for vacations.
Johan:
We're emotional illiterates. We've been taught about anatomy and farming methods in Africa. We've learned mathematical formulas by heart. But we haven't been taught a thing about our souls. We're tremendously ignorant about what makes people tick.
Marianne:
