- You doubt your own daughter?
I love her more than life itself, but it does not turn a blind eye to its shortcomings.

... Without his permission I nothing in the house can do, and I'm sick of this. How I wish that my father were Friends. Octavia can do whatever she likes.
Sometimes this freedom is not talking about love of parents, and about her absence.

I don't believe that the main goal in life is to be happy. She is to serve. In order to be useful.

- Bless you God for your mercy, she said, and kissed the hand of a warrior.

"Yes," he said solemnly. - It is a pity, very often what looks nice, does not live forever.

- Shut Up, Hadassah. Who do you serve, arguing with your father?
