“الإنسان هو قضية،
وليس لحما ودما يتوارثه جيل وراء جيل مثلما يتبادل البائع والزبون معلبات اللحم المقدد ، إنما أتحدث إاليك
مفترضا أنك في نهاية الأمر إنسان . يهودي . أو فلتكن ما تشاء . ولكن عليك أن تدرك الأشياء كما ينبغي ... وأنا
أعرف أنك ذات يوم ستدرك هذه الأشياء ، وتدرك أن أكبر جريمة يمكن لأي إنسان أن يرتكبها ، كائنا من كان ،
هي أن يعتقد ولو للحظة أن ضعف الآخرين وأخطاءهم هي التي تشكل حقه في الوجود على حسابهم ، وهي التي
تبرر له أخطاءه وجرائمه ...”

“Sometimes, I used to sit under the sky, on a clear night, and gaze at the stars, saying, in my croaky voice: “Lord, if you’re up there somewhere, and you aren’t too busy, come and say a few words to me, because I’m very lonely and it would make me so happy.” Nothing happened. So I reckon that humanity— which I wonder whether I belong to —really had a very vivid imagination.”
― Jacqueline Harpman, I Who Have Never Known Men

― Colleen Hoover, It Ends with Us

“I see the past as it actually was," Maeve said. She was looking at the trees.
