Quote by David Chevalier

“Puede que el resto de animales no tenga la capacidad de razonamiento de algunos humanos, pero tal carencia eleva su facultad de amar, con lo que su dolor por la pérdida resulta incognoscible, ajeno a los atajos del consuelo e infinitamente más intenso del que puede llegar a percibir jamás el hombre. Por ello, creo que el hecho de soportar tal pureza de sufrimiento es, en cierta forma, lo que les hace superiores a nosotros.”

“Your heart is set on meditating on the Lord's precepts, contemplating His ways, and delighting in His Word. Your eyes are open to the truths of God, even in the night watches, and His law is your meditation all day long. You find joy in the Lord's statutes, and His works are the wonder of your heart. Your hands are lifted up to His commandments, which you love, and you meditate on the book of the law day and night. As you remember the days of old and muse on the work of God's hands, you are blessed with wisdom, guidance, and a deeper walk with the Lord. You are satisfied with God's favor and filled with His blessings. As a seed of Abraham through Jesus Christ, you receive the blessing of Abraham, and God multiplies you like the stars of heaven and the sand of the shore. Showers of blessing are upon your life, and every curse sent your way is turned into a blessing. You are chosen by God and blessed, and His face shines upon you. Your life yields increase, and the ends of the earth fear Him. You walk in God's favor, and your enemies do not triumph over you, for you are blessed and favored by the Lord.”

“Maybe if you stopped sulking in your self-pity, you'd see that you have everything you need to scale the Gauntlet,' he calls after me, his voice echoing down the hallway. 'My self-what?' I turn around, my jaw dropping. 'People die,' he says slowly, his jaw ticking before he drags in a deep breath. 'It's going to happen over and over again. It's the nature of what happens here. What makes you a rider is what you do after people die. You want to know why you're still alive? Because you're the scale I currently judge myself against every night. Every day I let you live, I get to convince myself that there's still a part of me that's a decent person. So if you want to quit, then please, spare me the temptation and fucking quit. But if you want to do something, then do it.' 'I'm too short to span the distance!' I hiss, uncaring that anyone could hear us. 'The right way isn't the only way. Figure it out.' Then he turns and walks away. Fuck. Him.”

“Why do old houses creak so much?" he asked idly, playing with her braid and drawing the silky end across her cheek. "When all the warmth fades at night, it makes the old boards contract and slip against each other." "A bloody massive house, it is. And you were left to your own devices in this place for too long. I didn't understand before, how alone you were." "I had the twins for company. I watched over them." "But there was no one to watch over you." A sense of uneasiness came over her, as it always did whenever she reflected on her childhood. It had seemed as if her very survival had depended on never complaining or drawing attention to herself. "Oh I- I didn't need that." "All little girls need to feel safe and wanted.”

“Codfish aristocracy' is what they call us. Men who've made a fortune in business, but are common-born." "Why codfish?" "It used to refer to the rich merchants who settled the American colonies and made their money in the cod trade. Now it means any successful businessman." "Nouveau riche is another term," Helen added. "It's never used as a compliment, of course. But it should be. Being self-made is something to be admired." As she felt his soundless chuckle, she insisted, "It is." Rhys turned his head to kiss her. "You've no need to flatter my vanity." "I'm not flattering you. I think you're remarkable.”
