Anthony Doerr Quote

Диамантът, напомня си ключарят, е само къс въглерод, престоял цяла вечност под огромното налягане в недрата на Земята и е изхвърлен на повърхността през някой коминот лава. Някой го изравя, друг го шлифова. И е толкова свръхестествен, колкото и едно листо...огледало...или нечий живот. В този свят има само шанс, шанс и закони на физиката.
