Polina’s Quotes

“Робіть те, чого вам хочеться. Не слухайте нікого. Навіть мене не слухайте, дівчата. Просто робіть так, щоб добре було вам самим, бо ніхто потім не оглянеться на вас, що ви робили щось, аби комусь було затишно, аби комусь було світло і не дуло. Ніхто не згадає.”
― Євгенія Кузнєцова, Спитайте Мієчку

“The boys could have been many things had they not been ruined by that place. Doctors who cured diseases or perform brain surgery, inventing shit that saves lives. Run for president. All those lost geniuses - sure not all of them were geniuses, Chickie Pete for example was not solving special relativity - but they had been denied even the simple pleasure of being ordinary. Hobbled and handicapped before the race even began, never figuring out how to be normal.”
― Colson Whitehead, The Nickel Boys
