A line from Hana

Dec. 22nd [1938] — Betrayals during war are childlike compared with our betrayals during peace. New lovers are nervous and tender, but smash everything. For the heart is an organ of fire. For the heart is an organ of fire— I love that. I believe that. [Reading Almásy's note on the Christmas firecracker]

You're in love with him, aren't you? Your poor patient. You think he's a saint because of the way he looks?

Hana

I don't think he is. I'm not so in love with him. I'm in love with ghosts. And so is he. He's in love with ghosts.

I'm one of his ghosts and he wouldn't even know.

Hana

I'll probably marry him.

Really? That's sudden.

Hana

My mother always told me I would summon my husband by playing the piano.

Hana

Then I tell myself he spends all day searching, in the night he wants to be found.

Kip

I do. I do want you to find me! I do want to be found.
