Quote by Febe Maenhout

“And yet, for all her strength, for all her dignity, I wonder how long she can keep it up. How long before the weight she carries cracks her wide open, leaving nothing but the hollow shell of the woman she pretends to be. Because armor can only hold so long. And when it breaks, it doesn't just fall away. It shatters.”

“Deep down there is the feeling that what we participated in was morally wrong, and can never be looked upon as legitimate. We can make all kinds of excuses, but it can never justify the murder, the savagery and the barbarism that was inflicted on the Vietnamese people under the guise of saving the world from communism.”

“Vietnam was never a threat to America or Australia, but it was a threat to their perceived interests. For those selfish interests we fought and were maimed and died. It was not for patriotism, and not to save freedom or humanity: it was to save vested interests.”

“He always crosses her mind in the oddest moments of her life A dream of him is good enough for her In a simple dream she saw his face and heard his face At this moment it's clear All the feelings for him are very much real and alive If only he knew If only he was hers If only he felt the same She has no idea If only there were together Emotions like these weren't made to be unrequited”

“Nous pouvons dire qu'en matière biologique, c'est le pathos qui conditionne le logos parce qu'il l'appelle. C'est l'anormal qui suscite l'intérêt théorique pour le normal. Des normes ne sont reconnues pour telles que dans des infractions. Des fonctions ne sont révélées que par leur ratés. La vie ne s'élève à la conscience et à la science d'elle-même que par l'inadaptation, l'échec et la douleur.”

“And what is your name?" Caroline asked him. He smiled up at her, a little impishly. "I guess Bianca's name for me will work. Call me Bear." "Bear?" Caroline repeated, doubtfully. "I think it would be best right now," he said simply. "For all of us." "You aren't running from anything?" she asked directly. "No, I guess you could say something is running from me. The law would be on my side, ma'am, if I could get them involved. For now, I'm doing all I can.”

“Juliette" I inhale too quickly. A stifled cough is balloning in my throat. His glassy green eyes glint in my direction. "Are you not hungry?" "No, thank you." He licks his bottom lip into a smile. "Don't confuse stupidity for bravery, love. I know you haven't eaten anything in days." Something in my patioence snaps. "I'd rather die than eat your food and listen to you call me love," I tell him. Adam drops his fork. Warner spares him a swift glance and when he looks at my way again his eyes have hardened. He holds my gaze fo a few infinitely long seconds before he pulls a gun out of his jacket pocket. He fires.”
