Quote by Judith Lewis Herman

“I have tried to communicate my ideas in a language that preserves connections, a language that is faithful both to the dispassionate, reasoned traditions of my profession and to the passionate claims of people who have been violated and outraged. I have tried to find a language that can withstand the imperatives of doublethink and allows all of us to come a little closer to facing the unspeakable.”

“Cruz nodded. “In case you’re wondering, I have a dick.” That earned a sudden, single bark of laughter from Shade, which in turn raised a disturbing red-and-white smile from Cruz. “Is that a permanent condition?” Shade asked. Cruz shrugged. “I don’t have a short answer.” “Give me the long one. I’ll tell you if I get bored.” She flopped onto her bed. “Okay. Well . . . you know it’s all on a spectrum, right? I mean, there are people—most people—who are born either M or F and are perfectly fine with that. And some people are born with one body but a completely different mind, you know? They know from, like, toddler age that they are in the wrong body. Me, I’m . . . more kind of neither. Or both. Or something.” “You’re e), all of the above. You’re multiple choice, but on a true-false test.” That earned another blood-smeared grin from Cruz. “Can I use that line?” “I understand spectra, and I even get that sexuality and gender are different things,” Shade said, sitting up.”

“[Ted] Cruz railed against his fellow senators for not appreciating the risk that Obamacare would destroy healthcare for America’s families ... Cruz then lodged a more general complaint against his Senate colleagues who, he said, seemed more concerned with “cocktail parties in Washington, D.C.” than with their constituents. Referring to calls that he said were pouring in from around the country, begging legislators to resist and defund, Cruz noted, “It is apparently an imposition on some members of this body for their constituents to pick up the phone and ask for assistance.” As I heard him say that, I picked up the phone and called Cruz’s local constituent service office in Houston. “Could someone there give me information about how to enroll in Obamacare?” I asked, when I was put on the phone with one of the senator’s case workers. “No. We don’t support the bill, and think it’s a bad idea,” I was told.”

“Por isso nesta história, apesar de se passar no contexto dos tempos antigos, algumas partes narradas foram “assemelhadas” a episódios ocorridos em nosso tempo para dar maior entendimento aos fatos históricos, além de uma melhor atratividade e entretenimento aos leitores. A situação do Luca estava muito complicada depois que os piores bandidos como o Gestas e Barrabás assumiram as lideranças dos Sindicatods e, por isso, ele certamente iria ser crucificado, porém chegou da Hispânia o Erlon Musik e o El Pablo Mastral para tentar amenizar as penas que ele deve sofrer. Uma terrível trama foi desvendada e descobriu-se que estavam envolvidos o principais integrantes do governo como o Luis Nine, o Alexandre Demorado e vários outros importantes figuras, chegando até o rei Herodes, o que chamou a atenção do império romano. Então, meu nobre e célebre leitor, te convido a se deleitar e ter momentos bem descontraídos com a leitura do livro, mas já posso te adiantar que você será tocado de uma forma muito especial e, quiçá, terá sua vida transformada para sempre. Este é o meu maior desejo.”
