“The bar staff and croupiers all wore black with the same green triangle logo emblazoned on their shirts, and contact lenses which made their eyes shine an eerie, vibrant green. The bar optics glowed with the same green light, the intensity of which was linked to the music. As the bartender walked away to fetch the drinks, a breakdown in the techno track commenced and the bottles began to palpitate. The bartender's eyes glowed with a hallucinatory felinity that made Mangle feel nervous.”

“Thickly forested regions of Phuoc Tuy including the Rung Sat swamps and farms considered to be controlled by the Vietcong, were regularly sprayed by defoliants including “Agent Orange” using aircraft. This was both an inhumane and unsuccessful strategy which only destroyed enough food to feed 245,000 Vietnamese people for a year resulting in a propaganda gift to the Vietcong. (Ham, 2007). Given that defoliation did not uncover the enemy, who kept on fighting from jungle, caves and tunnels, the whole defoliation programme must be considered a failure. Given also, that birth defects and other health problems associated with defoliants can be directly blamed upon “Agent Orange”, it stands to reason that the allies in the Second Indochina War who sprayed it upon villages and farms can in fact be said to be, “Guilty of War Crimes!”

“A robin lighted on a blackthorn at my elbow, and began to sing. The sound came high and sweet and uncaring through all the noise of battle. To this day, whenever I think of the battle for Kaerconan, it brings to mind a robin’s song, mingled with the croaking of the ravens.”

“Był to przyjazny rudy policjant z jej dzielnicy. Ten, z którym dawniej rozmawiała matka. Który zawsze puszczał do niej oko, kiedy szła do szkoły. Do którego pomachała w dniu aresztowań, a on odwrócił wzrok. Teraz był zbyt blisko, aby spojrzeć w inną stronę. Patrzyła mu w oczy, ani razu nie spuszczając wzroku. Miał dziwne żółtawe źrenice, niemal złote. Twarz policjanta poczerwieniała ze wstydu i dziewczynka miała wrażenie, że widzi, jak drży. Nic nie mówiła, patrząc na niego z całą pogardą, na jaką umiała się zdobyć.”
― Tatiana de Rosnay, Sarah's Key
