  1. Markus Zusak _ Fighting Ruben Wolfe

    Значи това било. Руб е победител. Но не иска да бъде такъв. Иска преди всичко да бъде боец. Като нас. Да играе мач, който може да загуби. Отговарям му, за да го успокоя: - Пак ще се биеш, като всички нас. - Мислиш ли? Но никой от нас не знае, защото мачът не струва пукната пара, ако си сигурен от самото начало, че ще спечелиш. Истинското изпитание са онези, чийто изход не знаеш. Тъкмо те поставят въпроси и искат отговор. Руб още не се е бил. Не е играл истински мач. - Когато ми се случи, дали ще се изправя? - пита той. - Не знам - признавам си. Той предпочита хиляди пъти да е боец във вълчата глутница, отколкото единствен победител в целия свят. - Кажи ми как се прави - моли ме той. - Кажи ми! Но и двамата разбираме, че има неща, на които никой не може да те научи. Боецът може да бъде победител, но това не прави задължително победителя боец.

    The thing is, I don't even hate cops. To tell you the truth, I actually feel a little sorry for them.

    Why do they have windows? Is it to let a glimpse of the world in? Or for us to see out? Our own place is small perhaps, but when your old man is eaten up by his own shadow, you realize maybe that in every house, something so savage and sad and brilliant is standing up, without the world even seeing it. Maybe that's what these pages of words are about. Bringing the world to the window.

    Around us I can sniff out a savagery in the noisy southern air. It knifes it's way into my nose, but I do not bleed blood. It's fear I bleed, and it gushes out over my lip. I wipe it away, in a hurry.

    We smell the impact of traffic and humans. Humans and traffic. Back and forth. We taste our moment, swallowing it, knowing it. We feel our nerves twitching inside our stomaches, lunging at our skin from beneath.

    When I'm there, Rube's eyes fire into mine. Make sure you get up, they tell me, and I nod, then jump up. The jacket's off. My skin's warm. My wolfish hair sticks up as always, nice and thick. I'm ready now. I'm ready to keep standing up, no matter what, I'm ready to believe that I welcome the pain and that I want it so much that I will look for it. I will seek it out. I'll run to it and throw myself into it. I'll stand in front of it in blind terror and let it beat me down and down till my courage hangs off me in rags. Then it will dismantle me and stand me up naked, beat me some more and my slaughter-blood will fly from my mouth and the pain will drink it, feel it, steal it and conceal it in the pockets of its guts and it will taste me. It will just keep standing me up, and I won't let it know. I won't tell it that I feel it. I won't give it the satisfaction. No, the pain will have to kill me.

    They're brainless girls, otherwise they wouldn't be seen dead here. They're pretty, with ugly, appealing smiles and conversations we can't hear. They breathe smoke and blow it out, and words drop from their mouths and get crushed to the floor. Or they get discarded, just to glow with warmth for a moment, for someone else to tread on later.

    He's been to the brink and come back. I guess when you lose your pride, even for just a moment, you realise how much it means to you.

    How'd it feel?" Rube asked himself. "I don't know exactly, but it made me want to howl.

    It's the sound of my breathing that gets me, pouring down into my lungs and then tripping back up my throat.

    The only people we want to blame are ourselves, because it will be ourselves that we rely upon.
