Quote by Tommi Liimatta

“Tämä varjojen ja sukkeluuksien puolisuljettu maailma sytytti kiinnostuksen ja vain vuotta myöhemmin istuskelin räkälöissä jo aivan rennosti, joskin selkeä seinään ja kasvot oveen.”

“Petin luottamuksesi. Anna anteeksi. Neljä sanaa, puolitoista milligrammaa lyijyä, korkeintaan. Kahdeksassadasosa sinikantista ruutuvihkoa, jota myydään Agricolankadulla välitunnilla. Niin kevein asein murskataan muuri, jota hän on tiili tiileltä, kuukausi kuukaudelta ja vuosi vuodelta rakentanut. Hän seisoo tiilimurskan keskellä, syyttäjä, jonka on pakko luopua syyttämisestä, kuuro, jonka on pakko kuulla. Naurettava, jonka on pakko nauraa, ja naurankin, noustessani penkille ja katsoessani kauan kaipaamani kaivatun perään. Karhupuiston karhupatsaan juurella Ritva kääntyy, vilkuttaa minulle, ja kun vilkutan takaisin, on kädessäni kaikkien näkemieni elokuvien voima ja suru ja anteeksianto.”

“If he wasn't angry, he certainly did a good imitation. His voice was clipped and as hard as stone. She wrung her hands together. "I love you. Clay." "No, you don't." Meg felt as though he'd just slapped her. "Yes, I do. When you leave this town, I'll go with you." Narrowing his eyes, he studied her. "Will you marry me?" "Yes." "Will you give me children?" "If I can. Kirk and I were never able to conceive, but if I can have children, I want to have yours." "In this town that we move to, wherever it is, will you walk down the street with me?" "Of course." "Holding my hand?" "Yes." "And the hands of my children?" "Yes." He unfolded his arms and took a step toward her. She wanted to fling herself into his embrace, but something hard in his eyes stopped her. "And what happens, Mrs. Warner, when someone you know rides through town and points at me and calls me a yellow-bellied coward? What will you do then? Will you let go of my hand and take my children to the other side of the street? Will you pretend that you haven't kissed me, that you haven't lain with me beneath the stars?" With disgust marring his features, he turned away. "You think I'm a coward. Go home." "I don't think that. I love you." He spun around. "You don't believe in that love, you don't believe in me." "Yes, I do." He stalked toward her. She backed into the corner and bent her head to meet his infuriated gaze. "How strongly do you believe in our love?" he asked, his voice ominously low. "If they threatened to strip off your clothes unless you denied our love, would you deny our love?" He gave her no chance to respond, but continued on, his voice growing deeper and more ragged, as though he were dredging up events from the past. "If they wouldn't let you sleep until you denied our love, would you deny our love so you could lay your head on a pillow? "If they stabbed a bayonet into your backside every time your eyes drifted closed, would you deny our love so your flesh wouldn't be pierced? "If they applied a hot brand to your flesh until you screamed in agony, would you deny our love so they'd take away the iron? "If they placed you before a firing squad, would you say you didn't love me so they wouldn't shoot you?" He stepped back and plowed his hands through his hair. "You think I'm a coward. You don't think I have the courage to stand beside you and risk the anger of your father. I'd die before I turned away from anyone or anything I believed in. You won't even walk by my side." He looked the way she imagined soldiers who had lost a battle probably looked: weary, tired of the fight, disillusioned. "You don't believe in me," he said quietly. "How can you believe in our love?”

“Please," Meg whispered. "I don't want any trouble here." He released his hold on her. As though she might say something further, she parted her lips slightly. Then she walked out of the church. "Touch her again, and I'll kill you," Daniel said. Clay wondered if he should tell her brother that he'd be doing him a favor if he killed him… because his heart had just died.”

“The magnificent diamond locket which hung about Tarzan's neck, had been a source of much wonderment to Jane. She pointed to it now, and Tarzan removed it and handed the pretty bauble to her. She saw that it was the work of a skilled artisan and that the diamonds were of great brilliancy and superbly set, but the cutting of them denoted that they were of a former day. She noticed too that the locket opened, and, pressing the hidden clasp, she saw the two halves spring apart to reveal in either section an ivory miniature.”
