“Hi, Anya. Can I join you?"
Anya looked up from her meal with a dour expression. "I'm not a blond."
An obvious statement, it made no sense without a context. She added, "I'm not a twig."
"You're not a twig, that's also true." He gave her a smile, curious where this was going.”

“Hepimiz kendi Fabrikamızda bir koridora girdiğimize, kaderimizin belirlendiğine (düş
veya kâbus, yavan veya ilginç, iyi veya kötü) inanabiliriz; ama bir kelime, bir bakış, bir
boşluk; her şey onu tamamıyla değiştirebilir ve mermer sarayımız bir lağıma, fare
deliğimiz altın bir salona dönüşüverir. Varacağımız nokta aynıdır, ama hepimizin yolculuğu
- seçsek de seçmesek de - farklıdır ve biz yaşayıp büyüdükçe değişir. Ben senelerce önce
bir kapının arkamdan kapandığını düşünmüştüm; meğer hâlâ kadranın üzerinde
yürüyormuşum.”

“ ‘That has to be Mr Davis,’ Semilla said with an air of complete confidence as she stared at the inferno rising above the roof tops.
‘How can you be so certain?’ Burt questioned looking slightly pensive.
Semilla gave a shrug. ‘Let’s face it he’s been in the vicinity of one or two little disasters lately.”

“Unfortunately, much of the important information Ambassador Grew sent to Washington was largely overlooked or ignored, and dialogue between Washington and Tokyo was strained. This state of affairs is indicated by Grew’s cable on July 10, 1941, in which he pointed out that he had to go to the British ambassador in Tokyo, Sir Robert Craigie, to find out about discussions between the State Department and the Japanese ambassador in Washington. This occurred because the State Department kept the British ambassador in Washington abreast of events, who promptly informed the foreign secretary in London, who in turn informed their ambassador in Tokyo. Sir Robert then kindly passed the information to Ambassador Grew.”
