Quote by Gerald Hammond

“There’s no such word as “finish” in the vocabulary of a working kennel,’ I said. ‘By then, it’ll be feeding time. It’s always feeding time or cleaning-out time or walking time.’ ‘Or singing them to sleep time?’ ‘Now you’re getting it.’ I said.”

“Часовете се превърнаха в минути, минутите в секунди, зимното слънце и студената луна се размениха един друг, пропътували хиляди километри разстояние само за да поделят един хоризонт - никога напълно заедно, никога напълно един без друг.”

“Японците са хора и проявяват човещина. Заложено им е да са добри и състрадателни. С няколко думи, но верните, свършват работата и ти благодарят накрая!”

“Имаше широки рамене и неравна крачка и зад гърба си влачеше сянката пълна с камъни. Изобщо него повече го помнеха, отколкото го обичаха. Градът беше ням, слюден от жега и нито следа от милост в небето.”

“Stigmatizing the millions of Italians as ‘consenting victims’ of Berlusconi, denouncing the stupidity of the masses and wrapping oneself in the flag of the divine Left and its democratic arrogance – this is the pose of the enlightened intellectual, who is prepared to leave his country as a punishment (though he does not do so). All this comes from a short-sighted, conventional analysis of political Reason. The ‘blind’ masses, for their part, have a more subtle – perhaps transpolitical(?) – vision, to the effect that the locus of power is empty, corrupt and hopeless and that, logically, one has to fill it with a man who has the same profile – an empty, comical, histrionic, phoney individual who embodies the situation ideally: Berlusconi.(...) But it is just as undeniable that we cannot bear either Berlusconi or the current state of affairs. We have, therefore, to take into account both the obvious fact that we have the system we deserve and the equally nonnegligible fact that we cannot bear it.”

“Because I can't help doing it," he said with a shrug. "And hey, if I keep loving you, maybe you'll eventually crack and love me too. Hell, I'm pretty sure you're already half in love with me." "I am not! And everything you just said is ridiculous. That's terrible logic." Adrian returned to his crossword puzzle. "Well, you can think what you want, so long as you remember-no matter how ordinary things seem between us-I'm still here, still in love with you, and care about you more than any other guy, evil or otherwise, ever will." "I don't think you're evil." "See? Things are already looking promising.”
