Quote by Neal Shusterman

“She points to the door. "Leave!" "No." So she picks up a hairbrush and throws it at him. It beans him on the head and ricochets to the wall, where it wedges behind the TV. "Ow!" He grabs his head, grimacing. "That hurt!" "Good, it was supposed to.”

“The transitional nature of the 1920's can also be discerned in what may be labeled a new kind of 'dvoeverie' (or dual faith), a syncretistic belief that combined peasant ways and new Communist practices in tentative and uneasy assimilation.

“به همرزمان رفقا، انقلاب را برای رساله ها ننوشته اند برای فلاسفه که برده ها بساط سورچرانی شان را تدارک می بینند یا پروفسورهایی که جان کندن های دیگران را سر میز مذاکرات وجه المصالحه قرار می دهند. انقلاب کبیر را باد هوا به ما می آموزد که خود را به همه ارزانی می دارد و نفس همه را تازه می سازد. دریا آواز خون بی دریغ ما را سر می دهد که در هر قطره ی خود خورشیدی پنهان دارد! از این رو هر نی نی چشم انسانی بازتاب تمام نور است. همرزمان، آدمیان کره ی ارض! واژه ی انقلاب را با هم بخوانیم در چشمان من- تو- او که همه به یمن نور اندیشه و ستاره ها پذیرفته اند در این واژه نوشته است: انسان: آگاه و آزاد...!”
