“- Nerunā sliktu par Latviju! - Laura apstājas un uzkliedz Mammai. Arī Laurai var beigties pacietība! Arī Laurai var būt lielas dusmas! - Vai tad Latvija ir vainīga, ka veikalniecei netīrs priekšauts? Vai Latvija vainīga, ka veikalniece ir veģma? (..)
- Nerunā sliktu par Latviju! - Laura uzbrēc vēlreiz un piecērt kāju.
Laurai jābūt bargai, dikti bargai, jo kādam taču Latvija ir jāaizstāv. Sibīrijā neviens nerunāja sliktu par Latviju. Ka tikai tiktu! Ka tikai būtu Latvijā! Latvija tik skaista, Latvija tik mīļa! Bez Latvijas beidzas vai nost. Bet tagad? Tas nav labi un šitas! Laurai jābūt stingrai, viņa tikai nevar noturēt raudienu. Mamma arī nevar.”
― Māra Zālīte, Pieci pirksti
