Quotes by Jana Beňová (?)

“What should I do if I love two men?" a young woman asked her girlfriend helplessly at the next table. "Write a novel," said Elza, turning toward her. "Make it a story where there's little talk and a lot of sorrow.”
― Jana Beňová, Plán odprevádzania

― Jana Beňová, Away! Away!
