** 1996, Pirjo Hassinen, Voimanaiset, Otava, →ISBN, page 172:Ja Julia muisti mitä Irja oli kerran sanonut, kun Julia oli kysynyt miksi hänelle oli annettu sellainen nimi, johon kuka tahansa saattoi tarttua ja pilkata siitä. ―Minä annoin sinulle sen nimen, Irja oli vastannut. ―Se oli minulta tietoinen eksperimentti, koe. Minä halusin olla kaikkia oletuksia ja ennakkoluuloja vastaan, ja näyttää että Julia, pojan pariksi ikuisesti tuomittu tyttö, kuoleman vihkimä ikuinen morsian, voi olla ensimmäistä kertaa historiassa pariton, vain itseään varten. Pelkkä Julia ilman Romeota.And Julia recalled what Irja had once said, when Julia had asked why she had been given that name that anyone could pick on. ―I gave you that name, Irja had responded. ―It was an intentional experiment, a test. I wanted to go against all prejudices and presumptions, and show that Julia, a girl forever doomed to be paired with a boy, the eternal bride wed by death itself, could for the first time in history be left alone, only for herself. Just a Juliet, without a Romeo.
* Juliet (lover of Romeo)
