“We’re back to the problem of free will,” Eamon said. “If God is omnipotent, does that make us puppets? And if we are puppets, are we better off knowing that or not?”
“The man with the moustache keeps wiping his face and shaking his head as if he himself were more surprised than horrified, as if his strongest feeling were still astonishment that such a thing is possible.
"Even after all these years in the Reich," he says, "after all the humiliations and persecutions, even after they took my house away from me and beat me up in the street and threw my two children out of school - after all that I still didn't expect something like this!”

“Overlooking his colouring, his general appearance was that of someone in their twenties. Yet if his ascendance was so recent, he should look more aged by the years of war. He was almost pristine, as though all the death and destruction he'd caused had never touched him. The only sign that hed even seen battle was his eyes: There was a hollow rage lurking behind them that shed only ever seen in those whod spent a long time at the front lines.

“You misjudge the situation. I'm not arguing. If you had just the slightest idea what could be in store for you, you wouldn't even try. It is what it is, and I say what it is, and all you say here is: I'm sorry! And you say: Now I know better! And: I have recognized my mistakes. And I want to do my part to build a new Germany. Well?”

“Я столько раз думала о месте, где этот разговор со-стоится, но никогда не думала о конкретных словах, которые произнесу. Стоило мне их сказать, как меня будто смело лавиной, и я понеслась в пропасть в во-довороте из снега, вырванных деревьев и обломков домов.
