“I am serenading you sweetheart,” Kip says, “The way I figure it, you like those idiots who play guitars, so I figure I will learn how to play so I can seduce you. Jagger will understand. I mean he can’t play drums for shit, so you will have no choice but to fall madly in love with my guitar and drum playing skills.” He grins like a Cheshire cat.”

“You’re mine, Ellie. We belong together. I love you. Doesn’t that mean anything to you?” My cheeks heat up and I meet his passionate stare. “Of course it means something! Why do you think I came here today? It’s because I love you! I’ve only ever loved you!” Adam yanks me to him, slanting his mouth down on mine roughly until we have to stop and catch our breath. He glides a hand down my cheek in a loving caress. “Don’t leave me again, El. I can’t take it.”

“You can't kill a man twice," a very, very quiet voice in my mind must have murmured to me. "You already killed your childhood friend," it must have whispered to me, "when you mocked his totem on a battle day and he leapt first from the belly of the earth. Wait a bit," my mind must have whispered in a very, very low voice, "wait a bit. Soon, when Mademba will be dead without your help, you'll understand. You'll understand that you didn't kill him, even though he asked you to, so as not to blame yourself for having finished the filthy job you began. Wait a bit," my mind must have whispered, "Soon you will understand that you were Mademba Diop's blue-eyed enemy. You killed him with your words, you disemboweled him with your words, you devoured the insides ofhis body with your words.”

Pudo habernos abandonado incontables veces, pudo haber huido llevándose su fortuna. Pudo haber decidido que su vida dependía de hacernos trabajar hasta morir, pero no lo hizo. En cambio, puso su propia vida en peligro cada vez que nos protegía, sin otra razón que porque era lo correcto. No soy un filósofo, pero creo que Oskar Schindler es la definición del heroísmo, Demostró que una persona puede hacer frente al mal y hacer la diferencia.”

“I looked up again at the stained glass window. There she was, the same smile on her lips. I'm sure you were totally freaked out when they told you that you were pregnant, but at least your baby's birth is now celebrated all around the world! And so many people have been saved by you, and by your child! Then again, to be eternally known as the Virgin Mother, as if that's the only thing that gave meaning to your existence... Hey did you have any hobbies of your own? Or maybe there was a singer you were really into? You must have gotten stressed out sometimes. I mean, being called the Virgin Mother, even after your son was all grown up... And then to have him crucified like that. I can't imagine how hard that must have been. I just hope you managed to live your life the way you wanted, to take naps when you felt like it, to know yourself by a name that made sense to you...”
