1 " Shadows were too black, and when a breeze stirred the trees, the shadows changed in a disquieting way. "
― Stephen King , The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
2 " The world had teeth and it could bite you with them anytime it wanted. "
3 " She pushed the button and like a miracle her head filled with the sound of Jerry Trupiano’s voice… and more importantly, with the sounds of Fenway Park. She was sitting out here in the darkening, drippy woods, lost and alone, but she could hear thirty thousand people. It was a miracle. "
4 " It was like drowning, only from the inside out. "
5 " Part of her wanted to run. Never mind how flowing water was bound to take her to people eventually, all that was likely just a crock of Little House of the Prairie shit. "
6 " Изведнъж започна да се дави в изолацията, да се задушава от яркото, потискащо усещане за себе си като живо същество, откъснато от себеподобните си. Беше излязла извън границите, скиташе се извън игралното поле, в пространство, където правилата, с които бе свикнала, вече не важаха. "
7 " The world is a worst case scenario and I'm afraid that all you sense is true "
8 " The world has teeth and it can bite you with them any time it wants. "
9 " You could get used to anything if you had to. "
10 " Let it eat her; let it beat her. It could do both. But she would not beat herself. "
11 " It's God's nature to come on in the bottom of the ninth, Tom had told her. "
12 " I've got icewater in my veins and I hope you freeze on the first bite. Come on, you busher! Batter-fucking-up! "
13 " I don’t believe in any actual thinking God that marks the fall of every bird in Australia or every bug in India, a God that records all of our sins in a big golden book and judges us when we die—I don’t want to believe in a God who would deliberately create bad people and then deliberately send them to roast in a hell He created—but I believe there has to be something. "
14 " You could get used to anything if you had to. She knew that now. "
15 " She had a bottle of water in her pack—a big one with a squeeze-top—but suddenly all Trisha wanted in the world was to prime the pump in the little hut and get a drink, cold and fresh, from its rusty lip. She would drink and pretend she was Bilbo Baggins, on his way to the Misty Mountains. "
16 " Il mondo aveva i denti e in qualsiasi momento ti poteva morsicare. Questo Trisha McFarland scoprì a nove anni. "
17 " No matter what you had to do or how bad you had to do it, no matter how much yatata-yatata you had to listen to, it was better to stay on the path. "
18 " Let the evil of the day be sufficient thereof, "
19 " what if she just said Hey Pete, fuck you, deal with it instead of trying to be either all quiet and sympathetic or all bright and cheery and let’s-change-the-subject? Just Hey Pete, that’s a big fuck you, like that? "
20 " Die Welt hatte Zähne, und sie konnte damit zubeißen, wann immer sie wollte. Das wußte sie jetzt. "
