Quote by Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy

“Rememoró toda su vida. Cuanto parecía dormido para siempre, revivía angustiado... Fue una noche de perros. ¿Por qué, por qué? ¿Es que no se podía vivir una existencia fría como el agua del manantial, sin fiebres amorosas? Sentía estremecida que, después de tanto como la vida la había zarandeado, no había conseguido arrancarle eso; y "eso", naturalmente, empezaba ahora... No podría escapar, no lo rehuiría.”

'Maybe you should shoot me after all,' he says, covering his face with one long-fingered hand. ... He doesn't look up as I walk around the desk to him. I place the tip of the blade against the bottom of his chin, as I did the day before in the hall, and I tilt his face toward mine. He shifts his gaze with obvious reluctance. The horror and shame on his face look entirely too real. Suddenly, I am not so sure what to believe. I lean toward him, close enough for a kiss. His eyes widen. The look in his face is some commingling of panic and desire. It is a heady feeling, having power over someone. Over Cardan, who I never thought had any feelings at all. 'You really do want me,' I say, close enough to feel the warmth of his breath as it hitches. 'And you hate it.' I change the angle of the knife, turning it so it's against his neck. He doesn't look nearly as alarmed by that as I might expect. Not nearly as alarmed as when I bring my mouth to his.”
