“It takes vast willpower, luck, and skill to be the first. But it takes a gigantic heart to be number two.”

“Мне казалось, что стоит лишь приехать сюда, и ты найдешь все, что искал, что потерял, все пропавшие ключи, нужные телефоны и лотерейные билеты, все свои лучшие заграничные куртки, сбежавших котят и улетевших птиц, всех, кто однажды утром бросил свои дома и уехал, кто ходил вместе с тобой в школу и с кем ты так и не попрощался в последний школьный день, потому что думал, что ничего не изменится и вы по-прежнему останетесь друзьями и будете общаться всю жизнь. Возможно, все это ты нашел бы здесь, в стране утраченного, забытого и потерянного по дороге.”
― Johan Harstad, Buzz Aldrin, waar ben je gebleven?
