“Lo importante no es tanto nuestra autoridad sino sacar a la luz la mentira. Los miedos profundos en la vida de una persona a menudo conducen a un problema de control. Debes renunciar al espíritu de control. Muchos casos de liberaciones en curso incompletas se dan porque la persona tiene miedo (tal vez inconscientemente) de lo que ha enterrado en la oscuridad. Un contexto adecuado de relaciones fieles y afectuosas en las que una persona puede ser honesta y aceptada mientras responde al proceso de transformación.”

“Sentir cierta incomodidad es parte de la experiencia de leer un libro; hay mucha más pedagogía en la inquietud que en el alivio. Podemos hacer pasar por el quirófano a toda la literatura del pasado para someterla a una cirugía estética, pero entonces dejará de explicarnos el mundo.”

“Smiling wistfully at the thought of her beloved sister, Daisy felt a wave of loneliness sweep over her. She and Lillian had always been together, arguing, laughing, getting each other into scrapes, and rescuing each other whenever possible. Naturally she was happy that Lillian had met her perfect match in the strong-willed Westcliff... but that didn't stop Daisy from missing her terribly. And now that the other wallflowers, including Evie, had found husbands, they were part of the mysterious married world that Daisy was still excluded from. She was going to have to find a husband soon. Some nice, sincere gentleman who would share her love of books. A man who wore spectacles, and liked dogs and children.”

“There are some who believe that perfume is magic. The fragrance of a thing is its purest essence. And certain scents can awaken phantoms of past love, of sweetest reminiscence." "Phantoms?" Daisy repeated, intrigued, and the other girl replied impatiently. "He doesn't mean it literally, dear. Perfume can't summon a ghost. And it's not really magic. It's only a mixture of scent particles that travel to the olfactory receptors in your nose.”

“I wonder why it is that so many light-haired women smell of amber..." "You mean amber perfume?" Daisy asked. "No-their skin itself. Amber, and sometimes honey..." "What on earth do you mean? the younger girl asked with a bemused laugh. "People don't smell like anything, except when they need to wash." The pair regarded each other with what appeared to be mutual surprise. "Yes, they do," Lillian said. "Everyone has a smell... don't say you've never noticed? The way some people's skin is like bitter almond, or violet, while others..." "Others have a scent like plum, or palm sap, or fish hay," Nettle commented. Lillian glanced at him with a satisfied smile. "Yes, exactly!" Nettle removed his spectacles and polished them with care, while his mind swarmed with questions. Was it possible that this girl could actually detect a person's intrinsic scent? He himself could- but it was a rare gift, and not one that he had ever known a woman to have.”
