“Коли температура –20 °C і кожного дня когось вбивають, але хворі й перемучені солдати обирають не відмовитися від наказу, а знову й знову залазити в окопи, мерзнути і пильнувати ворога — це така Служба Божа, якої не зустріти у жодному храмі.”

“Ми здатні мислити тому, що в нас є слова. Без них ми позбудемося пам'яті, щоб озирати минуле, або уяви, щоб бачити проблиски майбутнього. Без слів ми назавжди будемо ув'язнені в тут і тепер.”

“God, but life is loneliness, despite all the opiates, despite the shrill tinsel gaiety of "parties" with no purpose, despite the false grinning faces we all wear. And when at last you find someone to whom you feel you can pour out your soul, you stop in shock at the words you utter - they are so rusty, so ugly, so meaningless and feeble from being kept in the small cramped dark inside you so long. Yes, there is joy, fulfillment and companionship - but the loneliness of the soul in its appalling self-consciousness is horrible and overpowering.”
