Quote by Costi Boșneag

“- Tudore, vezi tu, viața e o multitudine de momente în care suntem obligați să alegem. Chiar și noi, militarii, avem această posibilitate. Datoria noastră de militari ne obligă conform regulamentelor militare, să ne supunem ordinelor pe care le primim pe scară ierarhică. Asta ne e Datoria. Dar, Onoarea noastră de om ne dă posibilitatea să alegem dacă executăm acele ordine sau nu. Evident, în cazul în care alegem să punem mai presus Onoarea decât Datoria, atunci trebuie să acceptăm responsabilitatea acestei alegeri cu toate consecințele care derivă de pe urma ei. Și ca să-ți răspund la întrebare, ei bine, eu m-am bucurat că n-am fost pus în situația de a fi nevoit să aleg între cele două.”

“He said he had not seen much other than change for four years, and he guessed the promise of it was part of what made up the war frenzy in the early days. The powerful draw of new faces, new places, new lives. And new laws whereunder you might kill all you wanted and not be jailed, but rather be decorated. Men talked of war as if they committed it to preserve what they had and what they believed. But Inman now guessed it was boredom with the repetition of the daily rounds that had made them take up weapons. The endless arc of the sun, wheel of seasons. War took a man out of that circle of regular life a made a season of its own, not much dependent on anything else.”

“Srinagar is a medieval city dying in a modern war. It is empty streets, locked shops, angry soldiers and boys with stones. It is several thousand military bunkers, four golf courses, and three book-shops. It is wily politicians repeating their lies about war and peace to television cameras and small crowds gathered by the promise of an elusive job or a daily fee of a few hundred rupees. It is stopping at sidewalks and traffic lights when the convoys of rulers and their patrons in armored cars, secured by machine guns, rumble on broken roads. It is staring back or looking away, resigned. Srinagar is never winning and never being defeated.”
