(Е. Мальцев, От всего сердца) — Instead of admitting his shortcomings and seeking advice and help from others, he withdrew into himself. He struck out blindly, depending on chance, desperately trying anything that came to mind.
- Ладно, Родион, разговор у нас вышел серьёзный, - не сразу отозвался Захар. - Твой верх взял... Может, так оно и надо сегодня, ну да посмотрим, куда кривая моей жизни вывезет. (П. Проскурин, Судьба) — 'O. K., Rodion, our talk's turned out to be a serious one,' Zakhar said after a brief pause. 'You've got the upper hand... Maybe that's how it has to be today, but we shall see where that old hag of my life'll take me to.'
