― Kristin Harmel , The Book of Lost Names
42 " The path of life is darker when we choose to walk it alone "
43 " Vy na samom dele ne russkaya, ne tak li? "
44 " Vy moshennitsa? "
45 " Vy priexali suda so svoyey docher’yu? "
46 " Could they all be that evil? Or had they discovered a switch within themselves that allowed them to turn off their civility? Did they go home to their wives at night and simply flip the switches back on, become human once more? "
47 " But the greatest deeds in life require us to rise above our fear. "
48 " child. But we are all guilty of seeing things through the lens of our own lives. We forget sometimes that it is your life to live. "
49 " But no good comes of giving away pieces of our heart in the midst of a war." Pere Clément waited until she looked up and met his eye. "It's dangerous, Eva."Eva knew then that he wasn't just talking about the children. She thought of Rémy, whom she'd been seeing less of lately as he became more involved in running errands for the underground. "It's more dangerous not to, I think. "
50 " But Geneviève was a new ally, too, and there was something to be said for finding people to trust in the dark. "
51 " Ben has never really known me. He knew the pieces I chose to give to him, the body that nursed him, the voice that scolded him, the hands that soothed him. But there is so much more to me, pieces that had nothing to do with my role as his mother, pieces I never let him see. "
52 " the thing is, parents make all sorts of errors, because our ability to raise our children is always colored by the lives we’ve lived before they came along. "
53 " No. You'll know it when I propose." He held her gaze for a long time before breaking a grin. "
54 " I would have been fine.” “I couldn’t take the chance.” “Why not?” He hesitated. “Because as much as I hate to admit it, you’re good at what you do. And we can’t afford to lose someone who’s good.” “ ‘We’? ” she repeated. He glanced around. “Père Clément. And others like him.” “Forgers.” “Shhhh,” he said instantly. "
55 " refused to believe that a person who had made a life from books could have evil in her heart. "
56 " Most people find themselves charmed by me eventually. Now come, are you trying to leave a trail behind us on the streets of Paris? Are we Hansel and Gretel? "
57 " Yes, but mine were never as good as yours." She could feel his smile against her cheek as she whispered into his ear. "I admit it now. So I am glad you are here with your documents." He paused and added, 'Well, actually, I am simply glad you are here. "
58 " Parents make all sorts of errors because our ability to raise our children is always colored by the lives we lived before they came along. "
59 " Je reviendrai à toi. I will return to you. "
