Quote by Montesquieu

“Commerce is a cure for the most destructive prejudices; for it is almost a general rule, that wherever we find agreeable manners, there commerce flourishes; and that wherever there is commerce, there we meet with agreeable manners.”

“When, that evening, Vatanen slowly ski’d back from Vittumainen Ghyll to Laahkima Gorge, accompanied by his hare, he no longer thought about Kaartinen’s strange world. There was a half-moon, and the stars were glimmering faintly in the frozen evening. He had his own world, this one, and it was fine to be here, living alone in one’s own way. The hare ambled silently along the trail ahead of the skier, like a pathfinder. Vatanen sang to it.”

“...Лютая была вайна. Смяртэльная бітва з найвялікшаю няпраўдай і несправядлівасцю, якія калі-небудзь нараджала зямля. Гэтая барацьба ўзяла ў чалавецтва безліч ахвяр і іхняй крывёю напісала ўрокі, якія немагчыма забыць. Найпершы з іх, мусіць, заключаецца ў тым, што воля і мір – занадта кволыя дрэўцы, каб іх можна было вырасціць без усеагульнага клопату ўсёй трохмільярднай сям’і. Занядбанне гэтым урокам каштавала б зямной катастрофы.”
