Quote by Erica Bauermeister

“I could smell her perfume, sultry and deep, too loud for such a small space. "Poison," Victoria said, shooting me a knowing smile. "What?" Fisher said, turning. "It's a fragrance, circa 1985," she explained. "It got completely cheapened later, but the vintage stuff is still striking." She paused, sniffing lightly, ticking off scents on her fingers. "Plum, coriander, and opoponax." "What?" "It's a myrrh.”

“Eles consideram a fraude um crime maior que o roubo, e por isso raramente deixam de puni-la com a morte. Porque, segundo eles, o cuidado e a vigilância podem evitar o roubo dos bens de uma pessoa, mas a honestidade não tem proteção contra a impostura. Se uma pessoa não mantém a palavra ou trai a confiança de outra, se engana alguém para ficar com o seu dinheiro, isso é considerado um crime terrível.”
