“Doista, neka samo procuri prva rakija, netko će se već, obično kod neke ruševine obrasle kupinom, na pustom križanju, u ponoć, pod hladnom srebrenom svjetlosti mjeseca susresti s nekom bijelom sablasti.
„Kad u neka doba“, reče očevidac strašnim glasom, „vukodlak!“
„Ivanka, vodi dicu leć!“
„Nemoj, ćaća, pusti da i ja čujen!“

U studenim jesenskim noćima vukodlaci zavijaju na seoskim krovovima, vampiri bešumno lete po golim stablima, vještice pretvaraju mlijeko u krv, a samoubojice iz bunara cvile da im platiš zadušnicu. Čudovišta izranjaju iz sjenovitih uglova i kruže pustim sokacima, nekome obijesno kucnu na zamagljen kuhinjski prozor, a drugome ukradu pršut ili kakav komad alata iz garaže…

Moj brat i ja ove subote pečemo rakiju. Kuhamo ocijeđeni mošt, dok kiša sitno kucka po limenoj strehi. Stisnuli smo se oko kotla, vrućina nam na licima, a studen po leđima, pa pripovijedamo o političkim prilikama u zemlji i šire.

Nevolja je velika. Europska će nam zajednica, vrag je odnio, zabraniti ovo veselje. Pod plavom zastavom sa žutim zvijezdama nema, kažu, domaće rakije, nego nesretni narod loče samo industrijske otrove. Tako vam je to. Kad god mali čovjek ima neku sitnu radost, vlast mu je, bez nekakva jasna razloga, tek tako, sadistički, ukine. A što njima u Bruxellesu smeta naša lozovača od četrdeset pet gradi? Mi je napravimo, mi popijemo i za tri dana više ni ne pamtimo da smo je imali. Ne pamtimo kad popijemo, za pravo reći, štošta toga, ali dobro, nije u tome stvar, nego, recite po duši, sedamdeset litara, kao da je to neka količina. Pa ja bih još u osnovnoj školi, u trećem razredu, na velikom odmoru, za marendu, maznuo po pola litre.
„Tomiću, opet si pio“, kaže učiteljica prijekorno.
„Ti, kurvo, šuti“, odgovorim joj ja pospano dižući glavu s klupe.”

“But who could bear to know which stars were already dead, she thought, blinking up at the night sky; could anybody stand to know that they all were?”
J.K. Rowling, The Casual Vacancy

“Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long.”

“My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer and I have my mind...and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge. That's why I read so much Jon Snow.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

George R.R. Martin
“„You're Ned Stark's bastard, aren't you?“
Jon felt a coldness pass right through him. He pressed his lips together and said nothing.
„Did I offend you?“ Lannister said. „Sorry. Dwarfs don't have to be tactful. Generations of capering fools in motley have won me the right to dress badly and say any damn thing that comes into my head.“ He grinned. „You are the bastard, though.“
„Lord Eddard Stark is my father,“ Jon admitted stiffly.
Lannister studied his face. „Yes,“ he said. „I can see it. You have more of the north in you than your brothers.“
„Half brothers,“ Jon corrected. He was pleased by the dwarf's comment, but he tried not to let it show.
„Let me give you some counsel, bastard,“ Lannister said. „Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strenght. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.“
Jon was in no mood for anyone's counsel. „What do you know about being a bastard?“
„All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes.“
„You are your mother's trueborn son of Lannister.“
„Am I?“ the dwarf replied, sardonic. „Do tell my lord father. My mother died birthing me, and he's never been sure.“
„I don't even know who my mother was,“ Jon said.
„Some woman, no doubt. Most of them are.“ He favored Jon with a rueful grin. „Remember this, boy. All dwarfs may be bastards, yet not all bastards need be dwarfs.“ And with that he turned and sauntered back into the feast, whistling a tune. When he opened the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and for just a moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall as a king.”
George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones
