Nick Hornby Quote

Мисълта, че може да се наложи да преподава вечно, беше стряскала Ани неведнъж и тя дотолкова ненавиждаше предишната си работа, че дори и сега закъснението от десет-петнайсет минути, с което си позволяваше да пристига в музея, я караше да се чувства щастлива. За един преподавател тези петнайсет минути щяха да са унизителна издънка, предизвикваща напрежение, забележки и недоволни колеги, но на никого не му пукаше дали ще дойде с три или с трийсет минути преди времето за отваряне на един малък и слабо посетен музей.
