Book: Acceptable losses

Publishing business - the lot of gentlemen.

Religion... For me it's something like a huge spherical cloud in the center of which is hidden secret.
The cloud, huge as a planet, and can be, and how the entire Solar system. It is possible that it is too big and its diameter should be measured in light years. And each religion will stick to the surface of this cloud. One faith for a moment looks inside the scope in his place, the second for a moment, sees what's underneath. And so it continues indefinitely. However, no one can see what is in the heart. Or, as my asshole brother-in-law, who, as you know, an atheist: all that stuff is invented as a sedative for the human race. Everyone knows that will die, and religion offers him his Big Lie. What is the "Big Lie", you might ask. Answer: immortality.

Jealousy is one of the most haunting feelings, and she can't appear and disappear during the day.

Acceptable losses, as elegantly expressed the military, planning an operation that will cost only some eighteen thousand lives.

Innocent, experiencing a sense of false security to the soul. Their eternal motto - "Tomorrow...".

It's not just new York is a city of ice lonely women, tired of love and change, men who tired to be friends and to betray. But sometimes the loss of a beloved, a friend, or talent of honor ceases to be enrolled in the category of acceptable loss...
