“Ashlar: "I have learned to live with a profound loneliness. I forget about it for years and years. Then it surfaces, the desire to be placed in context by somebody else. The desire to be known, understood, evaluated morally by a sophisticated mind. That was always the lure of the Talamasca, from the beginning, that I could go there and confide in my scholars, that we would talk late into the night.(...) Human beings very seldom survive without that kind of exchange, communication. Love.”

“Никога не съм разбирал хората, които имат тази отчаяна нужда да казват това, което чувстват. Защо е нужно? Никой не те чува наистина и в най-добрия случай просто те вземат за луд. За онзи, който играе жертвата. Никой не се трогва от сълзите, никой не иска да види как умираш отвътре, защото, по дяволите, хората са егоисти. И не ти остава нищо, освен да се бориш сам. До последно, до болка и до кръв – винаги сам.”

“I’m fairly certain, Captain,” she said, “that the more you discover about me, the more you will dislike me. Therefore, let’s cut to the chase and acknowledge that we don’t like each other. Then we won’t have to bother with the in-between part.” She was so bloody frank and practical about the whole thing that Christopher couldn’t help but be amused. “I’m afraid I can’t oblige you.” “Why not?” “Because when you said that just now, I found myself starting to like you.” “You’ll recover,” she said. Her decisive tone made him want to smile. “It’s getting worse, actually,” he told her. “Now I’m absolutely convinced that I like you.” Beatrix gave him a patently skeptical stare. “What about my hedgehog? Do you like her, too?” Christopher considered that. “Affection for rodents can’t be rushed.” “Medusa isn’t a rodent. She’s an erinaceid.”

“There comes a time in everyone's life, When we can't see the passage of answers. In every journey there is darkness and there is light, There is fear and there is hope. As we travel through the chapters of time, We often forget that we are the light which illuminates our whole being, Serenity arrives when we are able to recognise and accept ourselves in an ever changing world, Where we welcome and cherish our rarity, This is one of the rarest and most treasured gifts we will find in this lifetime.”
