“If thieves see us on the road, I think they’ll wait for more worthwhile victims.” Patricius smiled. He held out his hand to help a monk up from the ground. The monk’s bones were so thin that Patricius was scared to grip him tightly lest the bone crumble beneath his fingers. Their feet and shins looked like those of skeletons.”

“Připadám si jako slepice, k terá vyseděla orly; sedím při zemi a kdákám strachy, když jeden po druhém vyletují. Někdy si říkám: to nesmíš, nesmíš být tak malodušná, nesmíš jim překážet – Richarde, to je hrozné, co se z člověka stane, když je mámou!”

“You may ask me, as others have done before, whether it was kindness or cruelty to allow them to meet, so soon before his departure with so little time to discover each other. Whether the pangs of loss do not invalidate the bliss of love. Especially where war is concerned, and Death runs rampant with his bloody scythe. You may say that it was wicked of me to allow James to find Hazel, and Hazel, James, if three days were all they would have. I don't call it cruelty I do not apologize”

“Shit is disgusting and horrible. A lot of people and things are disgusting and horrible, and I want to be a nice person, and I am. When you are speaking about rejected people whose suffering makes them disgusting, you are speaking about shit. I do not mean that we should all eat shit and love what we can’t help rejecting. I am saying that I tried to do that, just to see if it was possible. It’s not possible.”

“- Ce e, Părinte, de ce lăcrimezi? îl întrebă Neamțu’ pe bătrânul preot. - Lacrimi di bucurii și di dureri măi, copchile. Di bucurii că încă mai sunt patrioți gata să-și dea viața pentru țara asta, și di dureri pentru că sunt atât di tineri când o fac. Astea, zise el mângâind crucile pe lângă care trecea, sunt ale noastre sfinte cruci, ce răsar din trupurile eroilor noștri și sunt udate cu sângele lor și cu lacrimile celor care i-au cunoscut și iubit. Di-aia plâng măi copchile, ai înțeles?”

“What is it, Father, why are you crying?” asked Karl. “Tears of joy and pain, my child. Of joy that there are still patriots ready to give their lives for this country, and of pain because they are so young when they do it. These,” he said, caressing the crosses he passed, “are our holy crosses, which spring from the bodies of our heroes and are watered with their blood and the tears of those who knew and loved them. That’s why I’m crying, my child, understand?”
