“A brilliant sunset of pink and orange painted the sky to his right as they escaped from the castle grounds. He noticed the absence of the deep red of blood in the lovely sky’s scenery. His familiarity with the color was unnatural. It was found nowhere else in nature, almost as if it had never been meant for humans to see. To his left, the impending dusk loomed, and Satya found comfort in its familiar embrace.”

“Assisti a tudo, gotas de suor formando-se na testa. Queria dizer para pararem, mas não tinha voz. Estava emudecida, os meus dedos procurando em vão uma fenda que já não existia. Senti lágrimas nos olhos quando vi a explosão no ecrã. Fechei os olhos por momentos, e, mesmo assim, vi crianças que morriam queimadas nas ruas estreitas onde brincavam, ruas paralelas à da imagem inicial; as mães, arranhando a própria cara, que gritavam pelos filhos que não mais iriam ver; velhos esfarrapados, a boca aberta num grito perante os pedaços de corpos humanos e animais, emaranhados no fim. Vi um edifício explodir, fragmentos pesados em todas as direcções, acertando em formigas de movimentos velozes. Só que não eram formigas! Onde estava a compaixão? A empatia? E o cumprimento das convenções assinadas, das regras?”

“My name is Johannah M. ARRRGH!!!," she said, "and I told you I'd get you." The boulder soared downward and cracked Gunmar's cranium in half. The noise was like the rending of the planet, and it felt like that, too, when he collapsed to both knees. ARRRGH!!!'s grip weakened, the boulder dropped into the grass, and her lacerated body slipped from the quills. She crumpled to the turf, a limp pile of blood-soaked fur. Gunmar's body swayed and his six arms tried to push his skull back together to cover the exposed brain. His manifold hands, though, became confused and tussled with one another before giving up. Then the mighty lord of the Gumm-Gumms, the Hungry One, He Who Sups of Blood, the Untangler of Entrails, Gunmar the Black wavered in place for a long moment before dropping to his back with all the ceremony of a chopped tree.”

“Your aunt called it 'chocolate meat,' so I thought it would be similar to mole, but it's not. I can't really describe the taste, but there's something familiar about it. It's really good, even if the texture is a little... different." Hana agreed. "There's definitely something familiar about it, but I can't put my finger on it. Maybe a Korean dish my mom used to make?" I laughed. "'Chocolate meat' is a euphemism some older Filipinos use since Westerners can be kind of squeamish about our food. If it reminds you of a Korean dish, you're probably thinking of soondae." "Blood sausage?" I nodded. Understanding dawned in Hana's eyes. "Oh, now I get it. The stew is thickened with pig's blood, isn't it? There's a Korean soup that has cakes of blood in it, so that also reminds me of this.”

“Those who do not know story remain bound to tale. Our roots lie not in blood or soil; we grow from yesterday’s tales and blossom in today’s stories. آن‌ها که داستان نمی‌دانند، در قصه می‌مانند. ریشه‌های انسان در خون و خاک نیست؛ ما با قصه‌های دیروز می‌روییم و در داستان‌های امروز می‌شِکُفیم.”

“There is a particular love for the bride in this sacrifice that the church misses when she only thinks that God did not have any particular people in mind when he bought the church with his Son’s blood. I used to say to the church I served, “I love all the women of this church, but I love my wife in a very special way.” I would not want Noël to think that she is loved just because I love all women and she happens to be a woman. So it is with God and all the people of the world. There is a universal love for all, but there is a particular love that he has for the bride. And when Christ died, there was a particular aim in that death for her. He knew her from the foundation of the world, and he died to obtain her.”
