“Were I to attempt to be good to everyone, to the entire world and to all the creatures living in it, it would be a drop of fresh water in the salt sea. In other words, a wasted effort. Thus, I decided to do specific good; good which would not go to waste. I’m good to myself and my immediate circle.”
― Andrzej Sapkowski

“Хелън си спомняше съпруга си откъслечно, мярваше само изсъхнали люспици, които се носеха като листа, нахлули през кухненската врата. Понякога улавяше някое от тях и успяваше да го огледа добре, но най-вече се взираше в летящите около глезените ѝ листа и се чудеше как, за бога, ще намери сили да ги измете.”
― Emma Stonex, The Lamplighters
