“And when you're alone, there's a very good chance you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. There are some, down the road between hither and yon, that can scare you so much you won't want to go on. But on you will go though the weather be foul. On you will go though your enemies prowl. On you will go though the Hakken-Kraks howl. Onward up many a frightening creek, though your arms may get sore and your sneakers may leak.”

“Dünyada başka mesut milletler de vardı. Onların bizim yaşlardaki gençleri hiç de bizim bu anda olduğumuz gibi bir “olmak ve olmamak” meselesiyle meşgul değildiler. Onlar aşkı, sporu düşünüyorlar, yaşlarının tabii iştiyakları ve meseleleriyle meşgul oluyorlar, kurulmuş bir hayatın imkânlarından istifade ederek çalışıyorlardı. Biz ise el parçası kadar bırakılmış, çok harap bir vatanda yaşamak imkânlarını düşünüyorduk.”

Yüzyıl insanları, böyle bir son özlüyorlardı. Sonunda bıktılar bundan. Başladıkları yere dönmek istediker, dölyatağına yeniden gelmek.”

“She wondered when Papa would accept that she wasn't the sort of girl gentlemen flocked to. In his eyes she was lovely, but Eliza knew he was the only one who saw her that way. Plain girls had made splashes in society, but usually by virtue of being vivacious and witty. Eliza tended to grow mute and hesitant in the presence of elegant strangers, and any wit she had vanished from her brain if one of them actually spoke to her. Undoubtedly Papa hoped her enormous dowry would outweigh her shyness, but Eliza would rather be that eccentric old lady with a house full of dogs than marry a husband who only wanted her money. So Papa could dream, but Eliza was far less certain. Perhaps some day she would meet an affable country squire who didn't need a beautiful, charming wife, but preferred a quiet girl content to play with her dog and tend her garden. And if not, she would just remain where she was.”
