“I used to think the most important thing for a reporter was to be where the news is and be the first to know. Now I feel a reporter should be able to effect change.

“Գիտե՞ս ինչն է էս աշխարհի տունը քանդում՝ իրենից հետո բան թողնելու մահկանացուի մեծամիտ ջանքը։ Այնինչ աշխարհը նրա թողածի կարիքը չունի։ Համենայն դեպս, բան թողնելու ճիգ չի պահանջում որևէ մեկից այս հպարտ ու ժուժկալ աշխարհը։ Միայն թե՝ եղածը մնա։ Դու ցանքսդ արա, հունձդ հնձի, քեզանից հետո երեխա թող՝ անպիղծ արյունով, մերձավորիդ սիրել չես կարող՝ վնաս մի տուր, մի բան էլ նույնիսկ առ ու հետդ տար ու համեստորեն համոզված եղիր, որ առանց քեզ էլ այս հին աշխարհը իր լավ ու վատից գլուխ կհանի։

― Bernhard Schlink, The Reader
