Quote by Virginia Woolf

“Dearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don't think two people could have been happier 'til this terrible disease came. I can't fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that – everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been. V.”

“Los ojos de Lijuan se clavaron en Elena. —Michaela no entiende qué es lo que ves en tu cazadora, Rafael. —Se situó más cerca.—. Pero yo sí. Elena permaneció donde estaba. En su opinión, Lijuan estaba como una puta cabra. —Si le soy sincera, ni siquiera yo misma lo tengo claro —dijo con voz firme, "Elena… " "Calla. Déjame hablar con la dama chiflada." Una de las alas de Rafael se sacudió un poco, y Elena se preguntó si habría logrado sorprender tanto a su arcángel como para arrancarle una sonrisa. —Vida… —susurró Lijuan.”
