“One sees value in things that have strength, which life doesn't, in things that are indestructible, and life isn't -- to the point that someone might come along and ask you to sacrifice your life for something that has more strength. The homeland, for example.”
― Rosella Postorino, At the Wolf's Table

“The point wasn't whether or not I liked it. The point was it had to be done.”
― Ann Patchett, The Dutch House

“My punishment had finally arrived. It wasn't poison, it wasn't death -- it was life.”
― Rosella Postorino, At the Wolf's Table
