“I can't tell you what to do, Ishmael. I've tried to understand what it's been like for you - having gone to war, having lost your arm, not having married or had children. I've tried to make sense of it all, believe me, I have - how it must feel to be you. But I must confess that, no matter how I try, I can't really understand you. There are other boys, after all, who went to war and came back home and pushed on with their lives. They found girls and married and had children and raised families despite whatever was behind them. But you - you went numb, Ishmael. And you've stayed numb all these years.”
― David Guterson, Snow Falling on Cedars

“Intotdeauna omul neliber îşi idealizează nelibertatea.”

“How far do our feelings take their colour from the dive underground? I mean, what is the reality of any feeling?”
