“Птичката с тръна в гърдите следва неумолим закон.Сама не знае какво я кара да забие шипа в сърцето си и да умре, пеейки. Когато острия трън я пронизва,тя не подозира, че я очаква смърт..само пее и пее, докато не и останат сили да издаде нито звук повече. Но ние- когато ние забиваме шипа в гърдите си, знаем. Разбираме. И все пак го правим. Все пак го правим.”
― Colleen McCullough, The Thorn Birds
