Book: House of broken hearts

_ Oh, a whole chasm. It absorbs music, pictures, books, mountains, lakes, beautiful clothes, and a company of nice people - in this country you are deprived of all this if you have no money.

One cheeks and the other kisses her. One gets money and the other spends.
- I'm wondering which of us is more profitable than this deal?
- You. These people have been sitting in their office all their lives. You will have to endure it from lunch to morning breakfast. But most of that time you'll be sleeping. All day you will dispose of yourself at your own discretion. And you will spend his money. If this is too much for you, marry a captain of a long voyage.

Be surprised! At my age!

- Do you ever care, Captain Shotover?
- I was standing on the bridge for eighteen hours during the typhoon. Here, however, even more violently. But still, I can survive.

Just do not try to tell the truth there, no one will believe you.

Go, Boss Mangan. And when you find a country where there is happiness and no women, tell me its coordinates. I will join you.

Let's all go into the darkness of the night and drop everything, leave everything behind.

“I'd let him have the last word, dear. The most important thing is not to say the last word, but to put it on your own.

Hector says that there is a limit, after which the only answer to a person who does not want to know any rules is a good slap in the face.

- A young man will have the right to expect love from me and, perhaps, will leave me when he sees that I cannot give him anything like that. Rich young people, you yourself know, have the ability to get rid of their wives very easily. And this scarecrow, as you have deigned to express, cannot expect anything from me except what I intend to provide to him.

If love is denied to me, this does not mean that I must also live in poverty.

How much longer can I endure in this damn world filled with cruelty.

Please do not think that if you have basked in velvet all your life and now live like this, then women who lived in real hell can just as easily relate to everything as you do.
