“It had taken me a full three days to read and study the police reports. My initial thought was to find what I thought I wanted to see, but I quickly abolished that idea because I couldn’t tell what I needed to see. There was just too much information. I never really knew where that break was going to come from and I didn’t want to miss anything.”
― Behcet Kaya, Appellate Judge

“Ferret took out a folded scrap of paper and passed it to him.
'My guy Ben doesn't know where the other club is, but the girls are being shipped in from here, a rehab centre in Newtonville.'

'The place is just known as The Club. But the behind-the-scenes bit that only the real big spenders get to see, there's no official name, 'cause officially it doesn't exist, that's know as The Zombie Room.”

“Passeggiare è probabilmente la parola sbagliata. Marley passeggiava come passeggia una locomotiva impazzita. Si buttava in avanti, tirando con forza il guinzaglio fino a strangolarsi. Noi lo strattonavamo indietro; lui ci strattonava avanti. Noi tiravamo; e lui tirava dal'altra parte, tossendo come un fumatore incallito per via del collare che lo strozzava. Virava a destra e a sinistra, lanciandosi verso ogni cassetta della posta e cespuglio, annusando, ansimando , e pisciacchiando, di solito finendo con l'innaffiare se stesso. Ci girava attorno avvolgendo il guinzaglio attorno alle nostre caviglie prima di lanciarsi di nuovo in avanti, facendoci incespicare. Quando qualcuno si avvicinava con un altro cane, Marley gli balzava gioiosamente incontro, impennandosi, tratttenuto dal collare, morendo dalla voglia di fare amicizia. «Si direbbe che ami la vita», commentò un proprietario di cane, ed era vero.”
― John Grogan, Io & Marley

“Sao không ai bảo cha còn có những thứ quan trọng hơn lòng tự trọng?”
