Quotes by Michael Katakis (?)

“Аз самият съм син на имигрант и отлично разбирам какво представлява неофициалният договор между един имигрант и държавата. Просто казано, имигрантът се съгласява на асимилация, приема да се подчинява на законите на страната и да уважава, дори и ако не харесва, културата ѝ. Задължението на държавата е да му предостави работа и възможности, да поддържа ред, при който имигрантите могат да се развиват и дори да преуспеят.”

“Магазинът е малък и навсякъде са натрупани книги на купчини. Точно така трябва да изглежда всяка книжарница. Подозирам, че тук има клиенти, затрупани от книжна лавина, премазани от нея и никога след това неоткрити.”

“Известно време просто гледах великолепния, весел старец, докато ми говореше. Разбрах, че се е издигнал над каквато и да е политика или ембарго, над Фидел и Америка, над хаотичния живот, който редица от нас водят. Ето, той стоеше пред мен и живееше за мига. Предполагам, винаги е живял така.”
