Quote by Sally Rooney

“I think people aren't always very nice to the people they love. What does it mean to love someone, then? I'm curious. If you don't care about the person's feelings, and you're not nice to them, and you don't really want them to be happy, how is that love, in your opinion? Maybe we have different definitions.”

I am dying... of love... That is how it is... I loved her so!... And I love her still... daroga... and I am dying of love for her, I... I tell you!... If you knew how beautiful she was... when she let me kiss her... alive... It was the first... time, daroga, the first... time I ever kissed a woman... Yes, alive... I kissed her alive... and she looked as beautiful as if she had been dead!..." The Persian shook Erik by the arm: "Will you tell me if she is alive or dead?" "Why do you shake me like that?" asked Erik, making an effort to speak more connectedly. "I tell you that I am going to die... Yes, I kissed her alive..." "And now she is dead?" "I tell you I kissed her just like that, on her forehead... and she did not draw back her forehead from my lips!... Oh, she is a good girl!... As to her being dead, I don't think so; but it has nothing to do with me... No, no, she is not dead! And no one shall touch a hair of her head! She is a good, honest girl, and she saved your life, daroga, at a moment when I would not have given twopence for your Persian skin.”

“[К]ожен політичний конфлікт, кожен переділ кордонів і зміна паспортів ― це, перш за все, безкінечні й такі реальні життєві трагедії, ламані долі, сльози, біди і розпач конкретних людей. Тих людей, від імені яких сьогодні говорять політики. Говорять, насправді зовсім не переймаючись тим, що з цими людьми буде вже завтра, після того, як буде прийнято чергові закони, декларації та угоди. Про людей зазвичай ніхто не згадує. Їх традиційно використовують у якості живого м´яса, на яке можна посилатись, вирішуючи свої проблеми, реалізовуючи свої плани й заліковуючи власні комплекси.”
