“Il y a bien des façons d'être condamné à mort. Ah combien n'aurais-je pas donné à ce moment-là pour être en prison au lieu d'être ici moi crétin Pour avoir par exemple quand c'était si facile prévoyant volé quelque chose quelque part quand il en était temps encore. On ne pense à rien”

“Donc pas d'erreur Ce qu'on faisait à se tirer dessus comme ça sans même se voir n'était pas défendu Cela faisait partie des choses qu'on peut faire sans mériter une bonne engueulade. C'était même reconnu encouragé sans doute par les gens sérieux comme le tirage au sort les fiançailles la chasse à courre ... Rien à dire. Je venais de découvrir d'un coup la guerre tout entière. Je venais d'être dépucelé.”

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”

Ahead was a mounted policeman in khaki directing traffic. He raised his baton. The car slowed suddenly, pressing Brett against me.
Yes," I said. "Isn't it pretty to think so?”
