Цитаты из книги The Lost Apothecary

Почему мы прилагаем столько усилий, чтобы сохранить хрупкие умы детей? Мы отбираем у них правда -- и шанс огрубеть, потерять чувствительность к ней к тому моменту, как она громогласно постучится в дверь.

Мир недобр к нам... немного где женщина может оставить неизгладимый след.

“Killing and secret-keeping had done this to me. It had begun to rot me from the inside out, and something inside meant to tear me open.”

“Why did we suffer to keep secrets? Merely to protect ourselves, or to protect others?”

“First, there was trust. Then, there was betrayal. You cannot have one without the other. You cannot be betrayed by someone you do not trust ... what you have learned is the same heart-wrenching journey of every woman to whom I have sold a poison. And it is, indeed, the same path for me.”

Why did we go to such lengths to protect the fragile minds of children? We only robbed them of the truth— and the chance to grow numb to it before it arrived with a hard knock on the door.

Помста - сама по собі ліки.

Спершу була довіра. Потім зрада. Одне без іншого не буває. Той,кому не довіряєш, не може тебе зрадити.
