[...] Suzy, draguto, trebuie sa-mi promiti ceva. Nu…

“[...] Suzy, draguto, trebuie sa-mi promiti ceva. Nu incerca sa te feresti de ceva, e imposibil. Daca te porti cum trebuie, nimeni nu-ti poate face vreun rau. Cand un om fuge de el insusi, ajunge un evadat. Si un evadat este intotdeauna prins.” quote by John Steinbeck
