“It's not like I'm some evil witch, an Uregma of the unborn, but I've never learned to look at life from above, like an Aeroflot pilot flying over our capital.

I'm not the most sensitive woman, but my heart isn't made of stone either. I only know things are right or wrong, regardless of a woman's tears.”
