Shame

 

„We’re not bad people. We just come from a bad place.”

„How are you helping me, huh? How are you helping me? How are you helping me? Huh? Look at me. You come in here and you’re a weight on me. Do you understand me? You’re a burden. You’re just dragging me down. How are you helping me? You can’t even clean up after yourself. Stop playing the victim.”

„I’m not playing the victim. If I left, I would never hear from you again. Don’t you think that’s sad? Don’t you think that’s sad? You’re my brother.”

(Shame)

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

 

„He’s had a long standing sexual relationship with his co-editor of the magazine. Sometimes he performs cunnilingus on her. Not often enough in my opinion.”

„If a woman approaches any beast and lies with him you shall kill the woman and the beast.”

„It was then that I noticed Harriet wasn’t there. And she wasn’t there the next morning, or the next, or the next 40 years.”

„You will be investigating thieves, misers, bullies. The most detestable collection of people that you will ever meet – my family.”

„I’m not a recluse. I don’t close my door to anybody. They just don’t visit.”

Letters from Iwo Jima

 

„A day will come when they will weep and pray for your souls.”

„I am determined to serve and give my life for my country.”

„If our children can live safely for one more day it would be worth the one more day that we defend this island.”

„For our homeland. Until the very last man. Our duty is to stop the enemy right here. Do not expect to return home alive.”

„I don’t know anything about the enemy. I thought all Americans were cowards. I was taught they were savages.”

(Letters from Iwo Jima)
