Maud la había leído muchas veces en las últimas semanas, y en ese momento citó las palabras que tanto la habían emocionado: - "Dondequiera que tú vayas, iré yo, y dondequiera que vivas, viviré; tu pueblo será mi pueblo y tu Dios, mi Dios; donde tú mueras... -Se detuvo, incapaz de hablar por el nudo que le cerraba la garganta; después, tras un momento, tragó saliba y continuó-: Donde tú mueras, moriré yo, y allí seré enterrada".”

“Our infant bodies don’t actually know that we are separate beings at all. An infant only exists in relationship. It is natural for infants to try to give the only thing they have—their own nervous systems—to try to balance and care for their parents. This longing for the other’s well-being can become an unconscious contract to always try to make things better for the people we love, no matter the cost to ourselves. Peyton, Sarah. Your Resonant Self Workbook: From Self-sabotage to Self-care (p. 16). W. W. Norton & Company. Kindle Edition.”

“I know how Gods begin, Roger. We start as Dreams. Then we walk out of Dreams into the Land. We are worshiped and loved, and take power to ourselves. And then, one day, there's no one left to worship us. And in the end, each little God and Goddess takes its last journey back into Dreams... and what comes after, not even WE know. I'm going to dance now, I'm afraid.”
