148 " I don’t expect you to understand,” Adam says. “You’re still the eight-year-old sitting in school, sitting in church, believing everything you’re told. You remember pictures in books. They planned how you’d live your whole life. You’re still asleep. "

Так что мои настоящие страхи и недовольства так никогда и не выползли на свет божий. Я не хотел избавляться от страхов, тоски и тревоги. "
