“It turns out that indecision is a path itself; but figuratively, a vertical path - up or down - meaning it isn't always a fruitless path. One is forgotten, but the other is glorified. To be what they call 'middle-of-the-road' in most cases just means you have a hard time figuring out who between options is dumber. So quite often those who refused to decide were, after all, the bold individuals, the influential ones, the creative ones, those who snatched their own authority.”

“— Видяхте ли гибелта на този свят? — продължаваше жрецът. — Разбирате ли кой е виновен за нея? Кой знае имената на онези, които с едно натискане на бутона, дори без да виждат това, което правят, са изтривали от лицето на земята стотици хиляди хора? Превръщали са безкрайните зелени гори в изпепелени пустини? Какво направихте с този свят? С моя свят?! Как посмяхте да поемете върху себе си отговорността да го превърнете в нищо? Земята не знае по-голямо зло от вашата адска машинна цивилизация, цивилизацията, противопоставяща неживите механизми на природата! Тя направи всичко възможно да смачка, да изяде и смели света, но се самозабрави и изтреби самата себе си… Вашата цивилизация е раков тумор, тя е огромна амеба, която жадно поглъща всичко, което е полезно и хранително наоколо, и изхвърля само зловонни отровени отпадъци. И сега отново са ви нужни ракети! Нужно ви е най-страшното оръжие, създадено от цивилизация на престъпници! Защо? За да довършите започнатото? За да шантажирате последните оцелели? Да се доберете до властта? Убийци! Ненавиждам ви, ненавиждам ви всичките! — закрещя истерично той, после се закашля и млъкна.”
― Dmitry Glukhovsky, Metro 2033

“Worth More Than A Precious Jewel

What a brilliant woman!
She thinks beyond the now
Yet, she lives in the present
Will not let her past define her
Never scared to face the future
She is very influential
And knows the power of self-love
Takes pride in her life
Such a humble Soul
She lets nothing bring her down
Even after a fall, she stands back up
Where there seems to be no way
Her resilience keeps the enemy at bay
The universe celebrates her bravery
As she walks from victory to victory
A special human with a passion for humanity
She dispels any myth of inferiority
Sees herself as a priority
Recognizes her own reality
She does what she can do best
Always has it covered by prayer
A sister, a friend, a Mother
A daughter, a neighbour, or a leader
Who remains a great treasure!
Because she is worth more than a precious jewel”
― Gift Gugu Mona, From My Mother's Classroom: A Badge of Honour for a Remarkable Woman

― Lizzy Dent, Just One Taste
