Thuglife Quotes

“Wanting to leave communist Russia is all fine and well | Actually leaving the country is where you might run into a few setbacks. Obtaining a visa for a simple vacation outside the soviet block was a long and arduous process. To immigrate to a free society was about as easy as finding whiskey in a church.”

“The Jewish center on Kings Highway scheduled an interview at the local labor hall downtown for my father to meet one of their counselors in order to asses his skills and capabilities. When my father sat down with the fellow and asked all sorts of questions, his reply was a blank stare. Boris didn't understand a word. He did speak a little English | He knew two words, pipe and chair. So Boris did the smart thing. He kept saying pipe over and over. Whatever question, he simply replied... pipe. The counselor soon got the gist | Boris must be a plumber. He was handed a small slip of paper and was instructed to report to the address penciled on it at 6 am sharp the following day.”

“Another deputy threw down a clear plastic trash bag with my orange jumpsuit. I reached for the bag and was knocked down to the floor with an overhead right, another shove, and I was inside the 4X6 room. The heavy white door was already closing behind me. The walls here were made of hard white rubber. There was a small shower head towards the back of the tiny cell and a grated hole in the middle of the floor | I assumed that the hold would be my toilet. The cell reeked of anguish.”

“I revealed my affection towards my former employer and felt sick at myself for betraying him. My grandfather stood and poured me another tall glass. He offered me a sour tomato to take the edge off of the vodka. Pappy pulled his chair up next to mine then put his oversized arm around my shoulder and offered me his wisdom. "Feel no pity for this man James," he whispered. "A fool and his money are lucky to come together in the first place. More so, it's the responsibility of much smarter, more dubious men to party them," he finished.”

“— Por que você sempre ouve essas coisas velhas?
— Para com isso! Tupac era o melhor.
— É, o melhor vinte anos atrás.
— Que nada, mesmo agora. Ouve só isso. — Ele aponta para mim, o que quer dizer que vai entrar em um dos momentos filosóficos de Khalil. — ’Pac disse que Thug Life, “vida bandida”, queria dizer The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody, ou “o ódio que você passa pras criancinhas fode com todo mundo”.
Eu levanto as sobrancelhas mais uma vez.
— Como é?
— Escuta! Presta atenção nas iniciais. The Hate U Give Little Infants Fucks Everybody. T-H-U-G-L-I-F-E. Isso quer dizer que o ódio que a sociedade nos dá quando somos pequenos morde a bunda dela quando crescemos e ficamos doidos. Entendeu?”
― Angie Thomas, The Hate U Give
