“G-Men been tryin’ to snag him for years. It ain’t gonna happen. He’s smart. He’s heartless. He’s ice cold. He’s been a killer since he was twelve. He’s survived much worse than you. And, by the way, don’t think he won’t take out a few Feds if he wants to. You’re just a bunch a shitkickers to him. Who’s gonna arrest him? Huh? Cause it won’t be anyone around here.

"Perhaps Mr. Glossop wishes to play football, sir.”
― P.G. Wodehouse, Very Good, Jeeves!

“Если разобрать, из чего складывается моё чувство счастья, получается, что это когда ты всё потерял и всё можешь, всё забыл и всё понял, и сердце твоё разбито и готово к любви. Так выглядит свобода, но для меня это и есть счастье.”
