“Men hatifnattar slåss aldrig, lika lite som de säger emot en eller tycker illa om en eller tycker nånting alls, överhuvudtaget. De kom fram för att buga en efter en, i hundratal, och pappan tog hatten av sig och bugade tills han fick ont i huvudet och undratals tassar viftade tills pappan också började vifta med tassarna av ren trötthet. När den sista hatifnatten gått förbi hade mumintrollets pappa helt och hållet glömt att han haft lust att slåss. Han var bara artig och utslätad och följde efter genom det viskande gräset med hatten i tassen.”

“Je suis furieuse contre une société qui m'a éduquée sans jamais m'apprendre à blesser un homme s'il m'écarte les cuisses de forces, alors que cette même société m'a inculqué l'idée que c'était un crime dont je ne devais pas me remettre. Et je suis surtout folle de rage qu'en face de trois hommes, une carabine et piégée dans une forêt dont on ne peut s'échapper en courant, je me sente encore aujourd'hui coupable de ne pas avoir eu le courage de nous défendre avec un petit couteau.”

“And the PRCS [Palestinian Red Crescent Society] had not lost just one hospital: thirteen clinics and nine hospitals all over Lebanon had been destroyed in this way. Only Gaza Hospital, for a reason I was to discover three years later, was still standing. At the height of the air raids, when the Palestinians found out that every single PRCS hospital and clinic was a bomb target, they put three Israeli soldiers captured in south Lebanon on the upper floors of Gaza Hospital, and radioed a message to the Israeli Army saying that any further military action on Gaza Hospital would result in Israeli lives being lost. That saved Gaza Hospital from further destruction.”
