“Each of us has something within us which won't be denied, even if it makes us scream aloud to die. We are what we are, that's all. Like the old Celtic legend of the bird with the thorn in its breast, singing its heart out and dying. Because it has to, its self-knowledge can't affect or change the outcome, can it? Everyone singing his own little song, convinced it's the most wonderful song the world has ever heard. Don't you see? We create our own thorns, and never stop to count the cost. All we can do is suffer the pain, and tell ourselves it was well worth it.”
Collen McCullough, The Thorn Birds
“إن الطير الذي يغرز الشوكة في صدره يتبع بذلك قانوناً ثابتاً ، وهذا القانون يفرض نفسه عليه . إنه لا يعلم ما الذي يدفعه إلى غرز الشوكة في صدره ، فيموت وهو يغني . وفي اللحظة التي تخترقه بها الشوكة ، لا يدري بأن الموت قادم ، ولكنه يغرد ، ويغرد ، ويغرد إلى أن لا تبقى فيه ذرة من الحياة لنغمة أخرى . أما نحن ، فعندما نغرز الأشواك في صدورنا ، فإننا نعلم ، ونفهم . ومع ذلك فنحن نفعله ، نحن نفعله مع ذلك .”
Collen McCullough, The Thorn Birds
