Quote by Ani Baker

“I tell ya, the live ones put more death in the place than the dying. In the time I was there. I watched my grandma try to tell the same story three times to two nurses and one doctor and she was told to stop talking each time. She'd barely get two sentences out before they'd shush her. She's dying. Silence won't save her, let her talk.”

“He hecho un alto aquí y otro más adelante; y otro en cualquier parte que me agradara. Las sociedades de nuestro tiempo han eliminado el derecho individual de no tener prisa, pero los inmunes a la ambición, los vagos y los contemplativos formamos la vanguardia del gran frente de resistencia mundial a las imposiciones esclavizantes de los que creen que el tiempo es oro. La idea de que el tiempo es oro está contaminada de ansias de poder, de alimento bélico, de angustia mercantil, de autoritarismo estatal, de irracionalidad de consumidores a ultranza. Y, en verdad, sólo cuando se transita sin prisa por las orillas de las lagunas herederas de los ámbitos en los cuales comenzó la vida humana, uno comprende objetivamente la afirmación filosófica de que el tiempo es la imagen móvil de la eternidad.”

“Nesta let out a low laugh. 'If you want someone to blame for all of this,' she said to Tamlin, 'perhaps you should first look in the mirror.' Tamlin snarled at her. Cassian snarled right back, 'Watch it.' Tamlin looked between my sister and Cassian- his gaze lingering on Cassian's wings, tucked in behind him. Snorted. 'Seems like other preferences run in the Archeron family, too.”

“Since we all have varying degrees of tolerance for pain, and have equally varied experiences with different types of pain, it makes the scale feel kind of meaningless -- especially when you consider that the person trying to ascertain how much pain the patient is in has his or her own experiences with pain that are thrown into the mix, too. A doctor trying to figure out how much pain a patient is in, when she says it's 'worse than a broken leg,' but 'not as bad as childbirth,' is still only going to be able to guess what that means based on his or her own experiences -- and perceptions -- of pain.”
