Quote by Paulette Jiles

“It was in this way he asked people to enter another realm of the mind. Places far away, and mysterious, brought to them by details which they did not understand but which entranced them.”

“Riddle: «¿Quién puede cantar en medio del fuego de mil infiernos y entre los más espantosos ardores sempiternos, ser un condenado sin haber sido ajusticiado?» Answer: "El canto del gallo". En muchas culturas, se cree que el canto del gallo es un sonido protector y purificador que ahuyenta a los malos espíritus y trae la luz del nuevo día. En este contexto, el "fuego de mil infiernos" y los "ardores sempiternos" pueden interpretarse como metáforas del mal y la oscuridad, mientras que el "condenado sin haber sido ajusticiado" se refiere al gallo, que puede cantar en medio de cualquier peligro sin temor a ser condenado o castigado.”

“Riddle: «¿Qué es lo que ha de sentirte más amado si, parapetado tras insigne y longevo pecado, no existiera un atajo bajo el cuello de un ahorcado?» Answer: El alma. Por lo tanto, lo que más anhela ser amado en esta situación es el alma, que se siente culpable y busca la redención. El alma, en su estado vulnerable y culpable, anhela ser amada y redimida, especialmente cuando está atrapada en una situación de pecado y sufrimiento.”

“Red smoke came rising out of the bottle, and Jasmine scrambled backward, crying out in panic. Something fiery within was pulling itself free, and though she tried to slam the lid back on, she was too late. The fire had escaped. It was growing larger and larger before her eyes, but the opposite of the Genie's comforting blue appearance. This creature had spotted red skin and flaming yellow eyes; it had claws longer than Jasmine's arms and dark hooves for feet. Jasmine had never seen anything so terrifying in her life. She trembled, staring up at the demon, which looked like it had crawled off the pages of one of Taminah's books. "The Story of Dahish the Ifrit." She could almost hear her tutor's voice again now. "A tale of a jinn who chose darkness." It was real... all of it. There was only one thing this demonic creature looming above her could be: an ifrit, evil jinn of the underworld. Just like the creature Jafar had turned into when he made his fateful final wish on the lamp--- the Genie's malevolent opposite.”
