Quotes by Barry Jonsberg (?)

“You're learning. So why don't we stop pretending? It's so much easier when you give up all those illusions and realize that the only justice you'll get in this life is the justice you dish out. It's a dog-eat-dog world out there, mate. You need to sharpen your teeth. Don't get angry. Get even.”
― Barry Jonsberg, Dreamrider

“A small insect, clearly suffering from acute depression, decided that my open mouth was the ideal route for a suicide mission. With kamikaze-like determination, it rocketed down my throat and splattered against my tonsils. - Calma Harrison”
― Barry Jonsberg, The Crimes and Punishments of Miss Payne

“Ich war fünf. Mit fünf weiß man nicht, was man zu erwarten hat. Man weiß auch mit zwölf nicht, was man zu erwarten hat. Vielleicht weiß man nie, was man zu erwarten hat.”
