“I felt like an Israeli girl soldier, in shorts and the hot wind, sighting down the barrel of the rifle, holding the .38 with both hands. It was a strange feeling, him looking at me as I aimed. I found I couldn't quite lose myself in the target. His eyes split my attention between the C in Coke and my awareness of him watching me. And I thought, this was what it was like to be beautiful.”
― Janet Fitch, White Oleander

“Простая душа, наивность - это дар, а не недостаток. Душа, ещё не изглоданная скепсисом и всей этой интеллигентской заумью. В жизни побеждают люди не мудрствующие, все же прочие видят слишком много препятствий и теряют уверенность, не успев ничего начать.В трудные времена такая простота - неоценимое благо, как палочка-выручалочка, спасает от опасностей, которые прямо-таки засасывают умника!”
― Erich Maria Remarque, Three Comrades
