“Cemetaries in Bohemia are like gardens”

“Fighting crime by building more jails is like fighting cancer by building more cemetaries.”

“Cemeteries in Bohemia are like gardens. The graves are covered with grass and colourful flowers. Modest tombstones are lost in the greenery. When the sun goes down, the cemetery sparkles with tiny candles... no matter how brutal life becomes, peace always reigns in the cemetery. Even in wartime, even in Hitler's time, even in Stalin's time..”

“Bohemia is a commune in which the Revolution is over and everyone is a member of the aristocracy”

“It was not what he expected from a foulmouthed flower of bohemia, but he had a feeling there was both more and less to her than that.”

“Dr. Klein like to say that gardens are for growing people, but we must not forget: People are for growing gardens.”
