“Snow White had long ceased to feel self-conscious about talking to animals. They'd always taken to her, even in the years before her father died. And afterward, when everything changed, it was the animals who'd saved her from despair in the face of the Queen's cruelty. Their love had convinced Snow White that she was indeed worth loving, and their joy had convinced her there was happiness yet to be found in the world. It was with the strength they lent her that Snow White had chosen joy over bitterness, and their constant companionship kept her on that path.”

“«Volte, espero hoje à noite na casa do lago., Penge, Alec.»: uma bela mensagem para ser transmitida através do posto de correios local! (...) Que bela situação! Continha todas as promessas de chantagem, e na melhor das hipóteses era de uma incrível insolência. Claro que não devia responder, e estava agora fora de questão oferecer um presente a Scuder. Tinha saído fora da sua classe, e era bem feito. Mas, apesar disso, durante a noite todo o seu corpo ansiou pelo de Alec. Chamava a isso luxúria, uma palavra fácil de dier, e contrapunha a ela o seu trabalho, a sua família, os seus amigos, a sua posição na sociedade. Nessa coligação devia certamente incluir a sua vontade. Pois se a vontade conseguir saltar por cima das classes, será o fim da civilização tal como a fizemos. p.238, MAURICE, E.M.
