Quote by Іван Багряний

“Коли маєш нагоду посміятися сьогодні, не відкладай на завтра. Смійся сьогодні, бо завтра не дадуть, завтра вже може бути пізно». «Ще поки людині дають, крім кунді-бунді, борщу й каші, вона має всі підстави весело сміятися. Коли ж їй зроблять «чих-пих», тоді вона вже сміятися ніяк не зможе».”

“Ще безсумнівною річчю було те, що, втративши все, безсила протистояти фізичному й духовному розчавленню, геть з усього зрезигнувавши, людина лишала собі сміх. І взяла той сміх за прапор. І з тим сміхом стоїть, ні, отак от гола сидить під шибеницею й, давши себе розп’ясти морально та втоптати в болото, з тієї шибениці глузує. Як глузує й з усієї інквізиції, намагаючись перемогти її покорою, згодою на брехню й підлоту, поглиблюючи ту брехню й підлоту до крайнього абсурду, а потім стаючи геть над нею високо зі своїм сміхом. Той, хто вигадав слова «кунді-бунді» та «чих-пих», — висловився тим самим за всіх з усім презирством до мордування й до розстрілу. Нема розстрілу — є лише ідіотський «чих-пих», дурний спалах двох грамів пороху, і тільки. І той спалах приносить визволення. І нема страшних мук — є лише ідіотське штовхання під ребра та биття по голові, тупе й безглузде «кунді-бунді».”

“Do you like it?' he repeated, and his lips tugged into a smile. I took an uneven breath and stared at the glen again. 'Yes.' He chuckled. 'That's it? 'Yes'?' 'Would you like me to grovel with gratitude for bringing me here, High Lord?' 'Ah. The Suriel told you nothing important, did it?' That smile of his sparked something bold in my chest. 'He also said that you like being brushed, and if I'm a clever girl, I might train you with treats.' Tamlin tipped his head to the sky and roared with laughter. Despite myself, I let out a soft laugh. 'I might die of surprise,' Lucien said behind me. 'You made a joke, Feyre.' I turned to look at him with a cool smile. 'You don't want to know what the Suriel said about you.' I flicked my brows up, and Lucien lifted his hands in defeat. 'I'd pay good money to hear what the Suriel thinks of Lucien,' Tamlin said. A cork popped, followed by the sounds of Lucien chugging the bottle's contents and chuckling with a muttered. 'Brushed.”

“Some of the most memorable, and least regrettable, nights of my own youth were spent in coon hunting with farmers. There is no denying that these activities contributed to the economy of farm households, but a further fact is that they were pleasures; they were wilderness pleasures, not greatly different from the pleasures pursued by conservationists and wilderness lovers. As I was always aware, my friends the coon hunters were not motivated just by the wish to tree coons and listen to hounds and listen to each other, all of which were sufficiently attractive; they were coon hunters also because they wanted to be afoot in the woods at night. Most of the farmers I have known, and certainly the most interesting ones, have had the capacity to ramble about outdoors for the mere happiness of it, alert to the doings of the creatures, amused by the sight of a fox catching grasshoppers, or by the puzzle of wild tracks in the snow.”

“Such A Great Treasure This is my lovely daughter With a special place in my life She melts my heart with her smile Calms my nerves with laughter For her, I have so much love Love that will keep her warm On cold winter nights Even when I left ahead of time God took care of her Better than me being there As I watch her from afar I do appreciate That she is truly mine I once held her in my arms And she named me her mom What a privilege it was To birth such a great treasure!”
