Patrick Süskind Quote

Власт, по-силна от влстта на парите, или от властта на терора, или от властта на смъртта: непреодолимата власт да внушава обич. Само едно не можеше тази власт: да го дари със собствен мирис. И макар чрез своя парфюм да се явяваше пред света като Господ, щом като сам не може да се помирише и затова никога няма да узнае кой е в действителност, той плюеше на властта, на света, на самия себе си, на парфюма си.
