Look through random quotes from here until you find five that you think reflect who your character is or what s/he believes. For Liet, I didn't use the random quotes; his were taken either from Lithuanian proverbs or the works of contemporary Lithuanian writers.

"If only a human being could forget, just for a moment, the desire to live, to live the way you've lived until now, if you could just hide this desire in your pocket like a shiny coin..." -Birutė Baltrušaitytė; "Under the Southwestern Sky"

"You can't blow against the wind." -Lithuanian proverb

"When a train goes into a tunnel, no one screams because darkness has suddenly descended; no one cries out from fright, because that's how the tracks are laid." -Ramūnas Klimas; "Gintė and her Man"

"There is no need to whip docile horses." -Lithuanian proverb

"...he kept waiting for the hour when he could reach out his arm and tear the newspaper and find beyond it the Real World opening up, we had always suspected it existed, secretly, we had always wanted to enter it or dreamed at night that we had, the world of real colors, real forms and sounds, the world of real happiness." -Saulius Tomas Kondratas; "The Suspended House"
