“He was a soldier. He was a shepherd. He was a beggar, and a king. He was a farmer, gleeman, sailor, carpenter. He was born, lived, and died Aiel. He died mad, he died rotting, he died of sickness, accident, age. He was executed, and multitudes cheered his death. He proclaimed himself the Dragon Reborn and flung his banner across the sky; he ran from the Power and hid; he lived and died never knowing.”

“Nisa and Poe were curled up in her large dog bed together, napping peacefully. Poe's tongue was out in a permanent blep as he slept, and Nisa's head was tucked under Poe's chin, narrowly avoiding his tongue. "Oh. My. Gulay. This is the cutest thing ever!" I whipped out my phone and started snapping a million pictures. Elena nodded. "I know. I had no idea I needed small dogs spooning in my life, but this has made my entire week. They are so sweet together.”

“L'umano è un corridoio stretto, bisogna andarci dentro per sperare di conoscerlo. Bisogna avanzare nel buio, sentire gli odori di tutti gli animali morti, udire gli urli, i pianti e lo stridore di denti. Bisogna camminare, affondare le zampe in una melma di sangue e risalire lungo il filo d'oro abbandonato lì dall'umano stesso, quando non era altro che infanzia e non aveva nessun tetto sulla testa a impedire il volo dei suoi pensieri. Animale fra gli animali, non conosceva ancora la sofferenza. L'umano è un corridoio e ogni umano piange il suo cielo scomparso.”
