“О, женщины, женщины!" - сказал Шекспир, и для меня теперь понятно состояние его души...»”
“Вы говорите, что женщины в нашем обществе живут иными интересами, чем женщины в домах терпимости, а я говорю, что нет, и докажу. Если люди различны по целям жизни, по внутреннему содержанию жизни, то это различие непременно отразится и во внешности, и внешность будет различная. Но посмотрите на тех, на несчастных презираемых, и на самых высших светских барынь: те же наряды, те же фасоны, те же духи, то же оголение рук, плеч, грудей и обтягивание выставленного зада, та же страсть к камушкам, к дорогим, блестящим вещам, те же увеселения, танцы и музыка, пенье. Как те заманивают всеми средствами, так и эти. Никакой разницы. Строго определяя, надо только сказать, что проститутки на короткие сроки - обыкновенно презираемы, проститутки на долгие - уважаемы.”

“But there was never simply a moment longer, was there? Time was the silent killer that devoured all. It felt no sympathy as it ate the hours, minutes, and seconds. Then, it moved onto your dreams, hopes, and desires.”

“Nëpër rrugët e shpirtit
Njehere ti me the se deshiroje
te gjeje veten tek bota ,
dhe une te thashe ,
se pari zbulo boten brenda vetes.
Njehere ti me the se deshiroje te shpetoje
boten nga çdo lufte .
Dhe une te thashe se pari shpeto veten nga bota
dhe nga çdo lufte tenden qe ti perjeton.

“What did you call her?" she asks but I don't think it's her real question.
"Sunshine," I say, and she smiles like she believes it's perfect and she may be the only person other than me who would think so.
"What is she to you?" she whispers. The real question and I know the answer even if I don't know how to say it.
Drew's muffled voice rises up from the floor before I can respond.
"Family," he says.
And he's right.”
