“They say I am a reformer. They say wrong: for I have long since given up any such chimerical idea, as that of being able to make men happier who are wicked and miserable by prescription. Withdrawing, therefore, from any such Utopian and hopeless attempt, I believed the best thing I could do was, to relieve, where I could, individual distress, and to lighten the chains that villany often imposes on simplicity under the name of law. In this I have done some good, and what else ought a man to do on this earth?”

“Midoriko me miró a los ojos mientras señalaba la amplia superficie, al otro lado de la ventana, teñida de color violeta y, luego, dirigió de nuevo los ojos hacia fuera. Aquel cielo que iba extendiéndose hacia la nostalgia, hacia lo que aún no habíamos vivido, estaba moteado de retazos de nubes como huellas de las yemas de los dedos. A través de los resquicios, se vertía una luz tenue que dibujaba suavemente los contornos de las nubes con matices de color violeta, rosado y azul oscuro. Parecía que si aguzabas la vista, podías ver el viento que soplaba en lo alto del cielo y que, si alargabas la mano, podías acariciar la película que envolvía el mundo. El cielo reflejaba los colores como si fuera una melodía que no podrá ser interpretada una segunda vez.”

“Be good at the depth of you, and you will discover that those who surround you will be good even to the same depths. Nothing responds more infallibly to the secret cry of goodness than the secret cry of goodness that is near. While you are actively good in the invisible, all those who approach you will unconsciously do things that they could not do by the side of any other man.”

“It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something.”
