„I talk of you:Why did you wish me milder? would you have meFalse to my nature? Rather say I playThe man I am.“

„Now I am going to wash myself. Please do not embrace me as I have not washed yet. And you? Even were I to anoint myself with fragrant oils from Byzantium, you would not embrace me—not unless forced to by magnetism. But there are forces in Nature! Today you will dream that you are embracing me! You have to pay for the nightmare you caused me last night!“
— Frédéric Chopin
