- És una ximpleria i sé que tot està al meu cap, però les vegades que m'he assegut a un bar o a un restaurant a dinar sola –de sopar, ni parlar-ne!– em fa la impressió que la gent em mira i pensa "aix, pobreta".
- It's silly and I know it's all in my head, but the times that I've sat down at a bar or a restaurant to have lunch alone –dinner, there's no way!–, I get the feeling that people are looking at me and thinking, "ugh, poor thing."
