Child Quotes
The angel of death, she said proudly, touched me when I was a child, with the exact same illness as now, but I screwed him, even though I was just a girl. And you'll see, I'll screw him again, because I know how to suffer. I learned at the age of ten, I haven't stopped since. And if you know how to suffer, the angel respects you, after a while he goes away. As she spoke she pulled up her dress and showed me the injured leg like the relic of an old battle. She smacked it, observing me with a fixed half-smile on her lips and terrified eyes.

The truth is that if only 8 percent of the Christians would care for one more child, there would not be any statistics left.

George was the easy part. As for Michael, I had always liked the name, and my father's brother is named Michael.

It was like getting the name that I wanted without having to get rid of the Greek element.
