“Нi! я жива! Я буду вiчно жити! Я в серцi маю те, що не вмирає.”
― Леся Українка, Лісова пісня

“Imagine this:
You’re driving.
The sky’s bright. You look great.
In a word, in a phrase, it’s a movie,
you’re the star.
so smile for the camera, it’s your big scene,
you know your lines.
I’m the director. I’m in a helicopter.
I have a megaphone and you play along,
because you want to die for love,
you always have.
Imagine this:
You’re pulling the car over. Somebody’s waiting.
You’re going to die
in your best friend’s arms.
And you play along because it’s funny, because it’s written down,
you’ve memorized it,
it’s all you know.
I say the phrases that keep it all going,
and everybody plays along.
Imagine:
Someone’s pulling a gun, and you’re jumping into the middle of it.
You didn’t think you’d feel this way.
There’s a gun in your hand.
It feels hot. It feels oily.

I’m the director
and i’m screaming at you,
I’m waving my arms in the sky,
and everyone’s watching, everyone’s
curious, everyone’s
holding their breath.

'Planet of Love”

“І я мав щастя… Я потрапив до вас, я мав щастя. Сміливі завжди мають щастя, як казала твоя мати…”
― Ivan Bahrianyi, Тигролови

“It was as if the heart had been burned out of her and the sadness which remained was just another ghost, the memory of love haunting the bones of hate.”
― Stephen King, Bag of Bones
