"Do you have family?"
"Yes. My girlfriend is a prostitute, we have a small mountain hut in the brothel. Come in, she will cook great coffee. We always neatly and comfortably, even after the earthquake!"

- Fight head and think of the heart!

- We may have won the battle, but lose the war!
- Yes! What?!

- It is strange that the Persians have not fled.
- Nothing strange - we had five, and they were only ten.

- My Lord, the soldiers have more enemies than stars in the sky!
- Well, when I was a kid, I always wanted to reach them with his sword.

- Betrayed us. Immediately get ships. It's our last day at Thermopylae.
- I will lead the fleet, but the ships can pick you up from here.
- No, we'll stay here.
- What about the wounded?
Wounded Spartans return home with the victory, in defeat, they die with the rest.

PART ONE. DIVER
I want to close my eyes. This is normal. Kaleidoscope of color, glitter, sparkling star whirl - I think I know what is behind this beauty.
Depth. It is called "dip", but it seems to me that in Russian the word sounds correct. Replaces beautiful label warning. "Depth!" There are sharks and octopi. It's quiet, and presses, presses, presses infinite space, which is actually not.
In General, she is kind, depth. In its own way, of course. She takes any. To dive, you need some energy. To reach the bottom and come back a lot more. The first thing to remember the deep is dead without us. Necessary to believe in it, and not to believe.
Otherwise, the day will come when you will not be able to emerge.
