September 13, 1915

― Ruta Sepetys, Out of the Easy

“I don't belong to any side. What's more, I think flags are nothing but painted rags that represent rancid emotions. Just seeing someone wrapped up in one of them, spewing out hymns, badges and speeches, gives me the runs. I've always thought that anyone who needs to join a herd so badly must be a bit of a sheep himself”
― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Prisoner of Heaven
