Quote by Aliya Whiteley

“It has occurred to me that the word sorry doesn't even sound very apologetic. It's too sibilant, and quick to climb from honest sentiment to sarcasm, even annoyance. I really am truly, completely, undeniably sorry for my mistakes on Demeter, but the more I say it, and the more I pile up adverbs in front of it, the less sincere it sounds.”

Si en la misma jungla de Birkenau no todos fueron necesariamente inhumanos con sus hermanos hombres, indudablemente hay todavía esperanzas. Esta esperanza es la que me hace vivir.”
