“Мы - малая краіна з вялікім сябрам. Аднак мне не вельмі верыцца ў тое, што некаму вялікаму ўвогуле патрэбны малы сябар. У школе ж вялікія не гуляюць з малымі. Мусіць быць нейкі падвох, калі самая вялікая краіна свету цікавіцца намі. У школе мы вучым вялікую мову, бо сяброў трэба разумець, тым больш, калі да іх няма даверу.”

“Я не веру гэтаму дурню, уцякаю і адну за адной адношу курэй на другі паверх нашага дома. Яны баяцца пакідаць задні двор, але я моцна трымаю іх на руках і выпускаю над галовамі гледачоў. Куры спалохана кудахтаюць і ляцяць. Бабуля мне гэту дрэсуру забараняе. З той пары, як нашы куры пачалі лётаць, яны развучыліся несці яйкі, кажа яна. Бабулі больш патрэбныя яйкі, чым свабодны палёт. Але ж куры маюць крылы, пад якімі хаваецца прага лятаць.”

“Если они кого-то нечаянно задевали, то умоляли о прощении. Именно так я обнаружила в них зачатки страстности. Может, они поэтому так часто и так охотно просили прощения? Просьбы о прощении действовали как кондиционер для белья. Они предавали человеческим отношениям мягкость. В наиболее выгодном положении оказывался тот, кто перестраховывался заранее: "Здравствуйте, простите”
