Quote by Gioconda Belli

“Tanta gente se las ingeniaba para ignorar la miseria, aceptando las desigualdades como ley de vida. Y así habían sido las cosas desde siempre, pensaba. ¿Quién se atrevía a soñar en cambiar todo aquello?”

“Sí, por ejemplo, un narcotraficante vende drogas y con eso perjudica a muchos adictos, incluso puede llevarlos a la muerte; pero si con su dinero hace obras públicas para la comunidad eso es bueno, porque nadie más lo hace, y si lo piensas los adictos son los que buscan seguir en esa situación, ellos también podrían decir ya basta y negarse a comprar drogas para rehabilitarse, así que tal vez no lo delataría. Pero si fuera un secuestrador que mata, agrede y lastima sólo porque quiere ver su colección de autos crecer, lo delataría aunque estuviera evitando la sobrepoblación mundial.”

“People deserve to know about that. They need to understand, not so that they can pity the region, but simply because it helps to explain so much of the way Kurdistan has tried to improve itself afterwards. They need to understand to stop it from ever happening again. They need to understand, because it is unacceptable that a genocide that was essentially ignored by many countries around the world at the time should be continued to be ignored by history”

“Her eyes were dark. Dark as chocolate, dark as coffee, dark as the polished wood of my father’s lute. They were set in a fair face, oval. Like a teardrop. Her easy smile could stop a man’s heart. Her lips were red. Not the garish painted red so many women believe makes them desirable. Her lips were always red, morning and night. As if minutes before you saw her, she had been eating sweet berries, or drinking heart’s blood. No matter where she stood, she was in the center of the room. Do not misunderstand. She was not loud, or vain. We stare at a fire because it flickers, because it glows. The light is what catches our eyes, but what makes a man lean close to a fire has nothing to do with its bright shape. What draws you to a fire is the warmth you feel when you come near. The same was true of Denna.”

“Why are you naked?" "The better to feed you, m'dear." He pointed between his legs and my gaze roved along his cock. Then I saw his forefinger tapping his inner thigh. "Femoral artery." "Riiight. And the major vein in your neck wasn't good enough because… ?" One black brow winged up and those delicious lips curved into a naughty smile. "Ah. Because then I wouldn't have had an excuse to get naked.”
