“You know that all dragons collect treasure of one sort or another, correct?" he asked, looking straight at Andie. "That's The Tradition, of course," she replied. "I don't know how you could possibly escape that particular compulsion." "Well, our family does that, too, of course," he said. "But our treasure is a bit different. We're librarians." He held up his fore-claws and she saw that they had been blunted; looking closer, she saw that what was covering the talons were sheaths of some sort with blunt tips. Well, if they were librarians... they'd have to keep from damaging the books, wouldn't they? "Librarians," she said aloud, then grinned as she got it. "Good gods. You are Bookwyrms, aren't you?" Gina stared at her a moment, then groaned as she got the pun. The Tradition loved puns.”

“Un drama vital siempre puede expresarse mediante una metáfora referida al peso. Decimos que sobre la persona cae el peso de los acontecimientos. La persona soporta esa carga o no la soporta, cae bajo su peso, gana o pierde. ¿Pero qué le sucedió a Sabina? Nada. Había abandonado a un hombre porque quería abandonarlo. ¿La persiguió él? ¿Se vengó? No. Su drama no era el drama del peso, sino el de la levedad. Lo que había caído sobre Sabina no era una carga, sino la insoportable levedad del ser.”
