“The world is a big place, my friend. And life is too short to live as others would have us be.”

“Шукач перевіряв свою [зброю] не більше години тому. Втім, зайва перевірка не зашкодить, а от покладатися на те, що все мало би бути гаразд - цілком може.”

“Він нагадував француза з фільму, назву якого ніяк не згадати, тому що часто французькі фільми попри усю свою різноманітність - про одне і те саме, за атмосферою цілком однакові.”

“A moon of unsurpassable brilliance flooded the silent landscape with a cruel glare of greenish light, which traced sharp inky shadows of the trees on the rounded white folds. The snow crystals caught and reflected the moonlight upon a myriad facets until I appeared to be walking in a world of sparkling diamonds. The frightful stillness of the woodland at midnight was almost startling – everything seemed to be frost-bound and nerveless. Even the icy air seemed frozen into immobility. The crisp crunch of my footfall appeared to be an unpardonable intrusion, while the scars they made upon the smooth field of scintillating white seemed a positive sacrilege.”

“Ми хочемо, щоб життя було якомога більш яскравим і менш болісним. А життя має свій спосіб принизити нас, і лихо вписане в угоду зі світом. Ми молоді, доки наша молодість не закінчиться. Ми здорові, доки є здоров'я. Ми з тими, кого любимо, доки ми любимо. Краса життя невід'ємна від її крихкості.”
