“Aplinkiniais keliais vaikšto tie, kurie slapstosi. Tu neturi ko slėpti. Įsikalk tai į galvą. Tu turi teisę ateiti ir išeiti, kada man patinka”

“Tik žinau, kad moterys per kančias pasauliui atneša naują žmogų. Atsakomybės, kad šis užaugtų, imasi taip pat jos. Manau, tik nedaugelis moterų gali susitaikyti, kai žūsta gyvybė. Dėl jos moterys daug vargsta. Vyrai mažiau atsakingi, nebent ant jų užgriūna išbandymai ir atsakomybė. Jie viską nusiaubia, tarsi tai būtų tik žaidimas. Mes, moterys, renkame lavonus, gimdome naujus kareivius ir kuriame naujus ryšius.”
