“The typhoon had got on Jukes' nerves”
“Anything's possible if you've got enough nerve.”
“Where did I get the nerve to think I could handle American teenagers? Ignorance. That's where I got the nerve.”
“This is what I think: If you had the nerve to live what you lived, you should have the nerve to write it.”
“And you, Tommy” the boy said, lowering his voice. “You’ve got a lot of nerve coming here and asking me to leave with you. A lot of bloody nerve. The sight of you makes me sick”
“One little ripple started today could create a typhoon fifteen years from now.”
